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.
