Reducing the space BETWEEN lines

[Rick G]

I used to be able to do this in Photo.  I could type a couple of words separated by a carriage return

Then shrink the space between them until they touch (or even overlap)

The settings may have moved or perhaps I forgot something but I am SURE I used to be able to do this in the paragraph settings

Your red arrow confuses me.

I think you're saying you want to reduce the spacing between the lines (Leading). The red arrow seems to indicate you want to reduce the space between the letters (tracking).

Tracking would be in the Character panel.

Leading is in the Paragraph panel, but can be overridden with Leading Override in the Character panel. If you're adjusting Leading in the Paragraph panel in Photo and it's not helping, then (I think) that one of these is most likely:

1. You have a Learding Override set in the Character panel; or
2. The document has a Baseline Grid set by Publisher.

I need to reduce the space between the paragraphs. My graphic has a carriage return therefore you are looking at 2 paragraphs

And I want to squeeze them .. vertically

Thanks

Change the Leading in the Paragraph panel, as was previously suggested. If that doesn't work, try the other suggestions.

Thank you. And my apologies for a misinterpretation. As they are separate paragraphs it is more likely that you need to adjust the Space After setting for the first paragraph, also in the Paragraph panel. This defaults to 12 pt, and I think you want to decrease it.
