When I write text in teh editable section of a document and in a table how do I change teh line spacing?

Sara,

Hopefully your editiable region has not begun inside a <p> or <div> type tag. If it has, then you won't be able to change the settings of an editable region easily.

Usually editable regions are not inserted between such tags (you can check your code to be sure, and Dreamweaver also warns you if you do).

As for line spacing, there is a CSS style for this, and so you will need to know a bit about CSS.

The parameter is line-height. So your code will look like this (can use div instead of p if you like):

<p style="line-height: 1.4">Your text here</p>

The other way is to use CSS classes.
Link a CSS file to your document containing this class definition:
.doublespacingsara {line-height: 2;}

Then in HTML use this:
<p class="doublespacingsare">Your text here</p>

I hope this helps.

If you are unsure, please read up a bit on CSS, and if still unsure reply here and I will assist you further :)
