anotherhoward Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 In Affinity Designer (Mac version 1.10.4), I want to reduce the spacing between two paragraphs. When I choose Text > Paragraph Leading > Decrease it reduces the spacing between all the lines in both paragraphs. The attached image shows where I want the spacing changed. How can I do that? Thanks, Howard Quote

I guess the gap is caused by the infamous 12 pt Space after Paragraph default. I still don't get it, why Serif thought that this could be a good default, I would have preferred no value.

Maybe I have misunderstood what you mean but if it defaulted to zero wouldn't there be no space at all between paragraphs?

You can define a default set of text styles and use them.In And, I think, you can change the defaults for text frames. prophet 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

That would probably be worth a mention in the Feature Requests & Feedback forum. If you do that, maybe make it clear you want a zero default value ('no space at all' might be misinterpreted by some users who might otherwise agree that thois should be the default).
