How do I manipulate the single spacing between lines, that is, leading? I
want to advance the line up without changing the font size.

To change the spacing of lines within the same paragraph - click "Format",
"Paragraph", change the "Line Spacing" from "Single" to something else that
suits your needs.

To change the spacing between paragraphs - click "Format", "Paragraph",
change the "Space Before" and Space after" to suit your needs. For example
if you are using a Times New Roman - 12 pt font and want double spacing
between paragraphs, either have 12 pt before and 0 pt after, 6 pt before and
6 pt after, or 0 pt before and 12 pt after.

Select the text and then go to Format>Paragraph. That is where you can
change the line spacing.

Good luck!
