gumbo23 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I wish to try closing up the leading on some text, but when I change it in the style, it does nothing. Why might this be? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Is there a "Leading Override" in the Character panel assigned to your text?

gumbo23 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm not sure if this answers your question - I haven't worked with leading override before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It is not leading override. Is the text aligned to a baseline grid?

gumbo23 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yes, it is aligned to the baseline. I attach the file so far, so you can have a proper look. Thanks for your assistance with this. All I wish to do is to slightly close up the leading, to give myself a few more words per page. Wisdom build 1.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 a) According to the Baseline Grid Manager for your document you set up a Grid Spacing of 17pt + b) Your body text is told to align to the baseline grid + c) Your body text has only a leading of 13pt = a) Make the grid spacing smaller in the Baseline Grid Manager or b) define a different baseline grid for every text frame or c) do not align your text to the baseline grid. gumbo23 1 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbo23 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I found that just dialing back the baseline spacing fixed the problem. Thanks for your help Joachim! Joachim_L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
