RE:

how do i set wordpad or notepad to double space?

“Double-space” usually means an empty line between each two lines of text. Here’s how to get it in Wordpad. Notepad has no double-space facility. 1.Select all the text you want double-spaced. (CTRL/A will select the entire document.) 2.Press CTRL/2. The text will now be double-spaced, and any text you add in that region will also be double-spaced. Hope that helps.
Set up a macro that tells the computer to double space.
