I looked into John's orginal question, and note that Linespacing is a feature of Paragraph styles, in this case the Default Paragraph Style. This does not seem to be part of the .rc file. Delving into the code, I am able to find a file 'paragraphstyleattrdefs.cxx' where there is a line ATTRDEF(ParagraphStyle::LineSpacingMode, lineSpacingMode, LineSpacingMode, ParagraphStyle::FixedLineSpacing) I tried changing the last parameter to ParagraphStyle::AutomaticLineSpacing, recompiling, but this did not seem to change the default style.
