How to make the shading look uniform around a double spaced line in MS Word?

When I use the shading on a line (with double-spaced 0pt before and after) in MS Word, I see that the shading area exceeds more at the bottom of the line.

 

However, this doesn't happen with single-spaced lines.

 

How do I make the shading look uniform around the text even with doubled spaced lines?

 

I have attached the screenshot here.

  • debojitacharjee You need to apply the shading to just the text.

    If you want the shading to go from margin to margin, you will need to insert a tab stop at the right margin and add a tab space after the last letter on each line

      Could you please show me the method of doing it on MS Word?

      I have also one word file that I would like to share with you, and it contains two line--one with single-spaced and the other with double-spaced.

      Please make the shading of the double-spaced line fit within the margins of the line.

      Here is the link of that file:

      Please download it to edit on Word.
