AFAIK...

Default (single) Line spacing is type point + 6 pt. Word default of 0 "Space Before" = 6 pt. This shows in the default increments of 6 pts in the dialog. The default Single line spacing = type pt + 6.

The term "leading" in the graphic is equal to the Word property Space Before. So if you have a Space Before = 10 pts, and the paragraph is set as single, then if your type point = 12

Line spacing = 10 + default of 6 + 12 = 28 pts
