It is not uncommon to need a double-spaced printout of a document while you are developing it. However, it can be bothersome to save the document as double-spaced, particularly if the need for double-spacing is only temporary (meaning your final document will be single-spaced). If you need an easy way to print a double-spaced document, follow these quick steps:
This last step is particularly important; if you save your document it will be permanently double-spaced. Unless you really want it that way, make sure you close without saving.

@David in Mississippi: On my version (365 Family) the Heading2 default assignment is Alt+Ctrl+2, similarly other headings use Alt+Ctrl+number. So it shouldn't be a problem.
