Moreover, once you are done, you can directly go for the “print” command to print the document.

Step 1.First of all; open the particular Google Document where you want to add double space.
Step 2. Now select the portion of the text wherein you want to add the double space by pressing and dragging the mouse cursor.
Step 3. Once the texts or lines are selected, go to the “Line spacing” button adjacent to “Justify” button.
Step 4. Now select the “Double” option from the drop down menu to apply the double spacing between the lines you have chosen by cursor.
NOTE:
You can also go to the line spacing option from the “Format” option in the menu bar.
Go to “Format”> “Line Spacing” in the context menu > “Double” from the sideway menu.
Solution #2: Use Android Phones to Add Double Space in Google Docs
Even if you get plenty of suitable options with desktop, like mouse for selecting texts quickly, printer for printing documents, etc. you also cannot deny the fact that you use Android phones more than your Desktop on a daily basis.
