    Can I change the value of default line spacing (in this case, 0 pt is the default value)?

    You can set the default line spacing in the Paragraph dialog
    You get to it by either from the Home or Layout tabs
    Paragraph group > click on little arrow at lower right

    To set the default line spacing:
    1. Change the line spacing to what you want
    2. Click on Set as Default
    3. Select either for this Document only or all new documents.
    4. Click on OK button

    Note new documents get their default settings from a file called Normal.dotm

    Two questions:

    4. Can I edit the Normal.dotm to change the default value of line spacing to millimeter?
    5. How do you shortened the line spacing so that, for example, the baseline of the font on first line is tangent to the ascent of the font on the next line?

    No. The Normal.dotm is the template file for the defaut settings in Word. There is no way to edit it manually.
    If you want to change the default line spacing make the changes in the Paragraph dialog and save it there.

    I don't even understand what you are asking?

    What I meant is like this (you may see the attached image).

    I have never heard of any way to do this using line spacing. However, you can get the result you want by putting one of the lines in a text box and moving the box so you overlap the other line. It is your choice which line you put in the text box. Examples:

    Here is how you do it...

    Put one of the lines in a text box

    Right-click on text box
    Select Format shape
    Shape options
    Fill = No fill

    Text options
    Layout and Properties
    Left margin = 0
    Right margin = 0
    Top margin = 0
    Left margin = 0
    Close format shape

    Right-click on text box
    In menu move cursor down to Wrap Text
    Select either
    Behind Text or In Front of Text

    Which one depends upon which line you want to be in front of the other.

    When done hide the border for the text box:

    Right-click on text box
    Select Format shape
    Shape options
    Line = No line
    Close format shape
