Yes, that is a menu for line spacing options. So in the Ribbon in Word 2011, the only relevant paragraph formatting control that you get is this: But instead of migrating all the controls that used to be in the Formatting Palette to the Ribbon, Microsoft has only kept a few of them, and, for some unfathomable reason, has decided that Word users need easy access to line spacing options much more than they need access to paragraph spacing options. See, with the introduction of the Ribbon, Microsoft has decided to eliminate the Formatting Palette altogether. If, like me, you are a word processor user who likes to compose “smart” documents and use the proper text formatting options instead of ugly workarounds like double returns and multiple tabs (we are admittedly a small minority, but we do exist), I am sure that you will be delighted to hear that, in the name of progress, Microsoft has now made paragraph spacing options in Word 2011 as difficult to access and use as they are in PowerPoint.
