There might be an easier way that I don't know yet but usually when I want what your describing I'll make/ use a small font, type a letter on the line you want the spacing to be closer, and then backspace/delete the letter. I do that with quotes so I only have to do it once or twice in a text box. That's a lot of adjusting for you! Hope that helps!
