Questions
What line spacing should I use?
Adults usually write comfortably on 7–8 mm. Early handwriting practice tends to use 10–12 mm. The preview redraws on every change, so compare them directly.
The printed spacing is slightly off.
If “Fit to page” is on in the print dialog, the whole page is shrunk. Switch to “Actual size” or 100% scale.
