ddamico361 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Hello. I am designing a layout which is text heavy. I created page masters in my Publisher document. Text imports into columns fine but lines of type are unnaturally spaced apart. Headline type is 14pt. I want a 17pt leading. 16point is fine. As soon as I choose 17, the lines of type become spaced a half inch apart. I have checked my paragraph settings and they are set to 0. I have no idea why this is happening. Please explain. Thank you.

SallijaneG Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 What does your Paragraph leading specification say? At the top of the Paragraph screen, is Exactly selected? If so, then choosing 17 should give you the result you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 That sounds like you might have a Baseline Grid active, @ddamico361.

SallijaneG Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Baseline Grid makes sense; had not thought of that. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddamico361 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Thank you. These suggestions helped. I'm still transitioning from InDesign. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting a different default leading with the art text tool vs. the frame text tool. Once I finally found the baseline grid and found that it was activated that fixed it. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
