Yes, MS Word can handle line spacings other than 1, 1 1/2, and 2. You can 
specify any spacing you want, in lines, or better yet in points which 
is how it is considered by word anyway.

I also should mention that Word will, unless you prevent it from doing so, 
increase the line spacing so to that required to fit in whatever is on the line
So, if you specify 8pt spacing and put 72pt characters on the line Word will
increase the line spacing to fit in the large characters. You can prevent word
from doing this by specifying the line spacing as a negative number.
