Here's another idea.
Create a two-row table. Go into the table format dialogue box and:
1. Remove the boders
2. Size the width to 100%
3. Set the spacing between cells as you wish (or alternately, insert a row between the two and adjust it height to suit your needs)
4. Size the row height of top adn bottom rows to fit your needs

Then enter, or paste in, your text, copy it, and paste into the bottom row.

Best,
