james948 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Any ideas? I can't get it to behave and I don't know what's going on. Affinity_Publisher_Leading.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 You probably have the Align to Baseline set to on.

Too slow, wanted to write the same, and he has Align to Baseline activated for the style. Plus: Do you really need a Leading override in your style?

Plus: Do you really need a Leading override in your style? I do not. I was just fiddling because I couldn't work out what was going on. Baseline is a good shout. Didn't think of that. I take it I need to make my baseline grid more dense to get the line spacing I want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james948 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Actually; where do I change the line-spacing if not the leading-override? The paragraph leading doesn't seem to do anything and I can change the leading in the character panel but I want to change it for the entire style, no?

james948 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Brill. Yes. Thank you. It was the baseline. Is it sensible, then, to keep the baseline as less than the line spacing? I suppose you must otherwise it will snap to the baseline instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you must otherwise it will snap to the baseline instead. It depends. I will set my Bulk Text paragraph style as 11 on 12 and set the Baseline grid to 12 points. But I may have to over-ride the settings on one spread (for a variety of reasons) and I will set the Baseline grid to 13 points just to get fewer lines on that one spread. You may not want the Captions or Heads aligned to the baseline, another use case is Callouts. It really comes down to 'What looks good, and is legible' Alfred 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.
