People often attempt to fix the problem by applying true double and single spacing to the document text. Why Applying True Double-Spacing Doesn’t Work Because of the way the Wizard stretched the line numbers to make them equidistant and to fit them within the space allocated for text - assuming a 1″ top margin, a 1″ bottom margin, and a 12-point font - the line spacing of the line numbers ended up being a fraction of true double-spacing. The problem usually occurs in documents that are based on a pleading template originally generated by Word’s “Pleading Wizard” (a deprecated / retired feature that was available in versions of the program prior to Word 2007).
One of the most common questions I hear from training clients and others in the legal profession has to do with text that is out of alignment with the line numbers in pleading paper.
