Formatting paragraphs

Options for formatting a paragraph differ depending on whether the "in inches" box is selected in the Paragraph dialog box. If the "in inches" box is selected, you can choose an option based on inches. If the "in inches" box is cleared, you can choose an option based on number of lines between lines of text.
