Default Change spacing between lines

Thanks Italophile and Charles

I still like to ident the second line at times (such as with a 'list' following the first line) and so maybe should be using another method. I know that when typing a document and not ending each line with a <CR> (pressing the enter key) that following lines don't get spaced the same way however when I like to format some documents so that I have to press the Enter key and so to save 'space' on each page I use Shift Enter/
Here is an example (I added <cr> and<shift cr> for the example only to demonstrate)-

Enter required squawk frequency in the Transponder <cr>

Set COM2 frequency to ATIS frequency at destination airport <shift cr>
<tab><tab> This can be found as follows - <shift cr>
<tab><tab> 1) Go to Home screen <shift cr>


Below is a screen shot (expanded) to demonstrate the outcome I prefer



Maybe the way to go is to set the line spacing to half what it currently is and then when I want a new paragraph I press the Enter key twice for the formatting I want? But the default line spacing is 1.5 and there is no option to set anything smaller than 1.0.
Can the line spacing be applicable to the current document and not a new document?
Sorry its 25 years since I was in the IT industry and I don't use Word a lot anymore.

The formatting I want is for a <cr> (ie pressing Enter) the next line has a line spacing as normal and this will be for most of the document however
At times I want the next line to be indented (I can use the Tab key for that) but with a smaller line spacing as per the example above.
