Kim Q Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 I'm sure there's a simple solution, but I am unable to find a previous post that describes the same issue I'm experiencing. In laying out a paragraph of text, I would like to increase the leading, but between 12 & 13 pt, there is a massive jump. There is no change when choosing any number below 12 or between 13 & 20. What am I doing wrong?? Hopefully the images below help to explain what's happening. Quote

Kim Q Posted April 22, 2022 Author Posted April 22, 2022 Thanks for your reply! I was not aware that unchecking the box to "align to baseline grid" would make that change. Thank you again! Quote
walt.farrell Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 You're welcome. Basically, if you choose to Align to Bsaeline Grid, then Leading changes are only effective when they are big enough to hit the next line of the Baseline Grid. Smaller changes would be ignored.
