Line spacing

[suseeq]

I'm using affinity photo 1. The line spacing is different between different text fields. When I highlight and check paragraph styles and text styles everything is exactly the same. Help!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Without a sample document or some screenshots, it's hard to do more than guess. But if multiple paragraphs are involved, you might check the Space Before and Space After settings in the Paragraph panel or Text Style.

they appear to be the same

You've trimmed those screenshots so much that I can't really see what might be happening. It would be better to see the complete text frame, and the complete Paragraph panel.

Are you kidding? Either the "line spacing is different" or "everything is exactly the same". Clarify!

Various settings can influence the leading, for instance leading override or baseline grid. As Walt says, without more info about your situation it is hard to "Help!"

The best would be to post here an .afpub file showing the problem (replace the private text in your document and keep only a few paragraphs). 

(I suspect specific baseline grid settings for different frames…)

... pleas set this, and send scrrenshot.

 

 

"everything is exactly the same", but only without Baseline Grid.

And there is no reason for you to be so nasty about responding to questions.

as in my question, I'm using version 1. I do not find the options you have shown here. My "view"  tab looks very different. Any idea where to find it in my version?

Sorry - I didn't notice you were working with text in APhoto. I automatically assumed APublisher.

Thank you so much for being so courteous...this was my original question:

"I'm using affinity photo 1. The line spacing is different between different text fields. When I highlight and check paragraph styles and text styles everything is exactly the same. Help!"

Yes - then the Outfi advice is exactly the same, just insert the *.afphoto file.

Nasty? Your description just sounds contradictory, especially since you combine literally "everything" with "exactly the same", which excludes the different leading being caused by any text style option.

If all text style options (incl. character style properties) are set identically then a baseline grid set in a text frame could cause differing leading – but APhoto has no Text Frame panel where you could have set this.

[suseeq]

Walt, sorry you had mentioned the "space" setting so that's all I copied.

Thanks for being courteous.

• It appears you don't use a saved text style for this two paragraphs but a modified "[No Style]".
–> What if you create a paragraph style from the wanted text appearance and apply the new style to the other paragraph?

• What style description do you get for each of the paragraphs in the Text Style panel top section? For easier comparison you can copy all text in this field and place it in a text frame for instance. Below just three examples of possible content.

If you would like to be courteous, you would attach the requested information, screenshots or document … instead of leaving the community guessing and in the vague dark.

How is line break - Enter or Shift Enter?

To me they appear to be different: one with, the other without round brackets:

I think that's why Walt asked already for space before/after.

[walt.farrell]

I agree it would help to have the .afphoto file, so we can see the actual text. 

Lacking that, are you sure you don't have manually-added line breaks between those lines? Or, possibly, a Leading Override specified in the Character panel?

Yes, but given we now know the space before/after are set the same way, to account for that difference it would need to be two line breaks or paragraph breaks between the lines, or a Leading Override, I think.

Thomaso

Please butt out. You are rude and arrogant.

This is my first time here. I gave all of the in formation that my limited knowledge encompassed. When asked, I provided pictures. When told I needed more complete pictures I supplied them to the best of my ability.

Clearly I'm rather a novice at this. I came here for help; not to be criticized for asking for help from someone more experienced than I am.

Clearly you think you are the smartest person in the room and that EVERYONE should know everything that you do or they deserve your tongue lashings.  I imagine that the only reason you come here is just to parade your brilliant, magnificent knowledge to validate your perceived superiority. I guess it figures, it's not the first time that attitude has been unleashed on the world.

Notice that you are the only one that has been nasty; everyone else has actually tried to help in a polite manner.

I have a PhD in Psychology. When someone asks me to help them on an issue within my field...(or any issue), I don't insult them for the way they asked, how they phrased it or hand out any kind of criticism. I am smart enough to assume that if they were an expert they wouldn't be asking the question. I ask, politely, for more information if I need it. Then I do my best to keep asking until I get what I need and try to explain the issues in a polite manner.

Do you differentiate between "setting" and "usage"?

If you have "empty lines" in mind, it doesn't look like this.

I did not insult you for the way you ask … but expressed my confusion about your contradictory information.

I doubt you lack in the ability to provide a screenshot of your entire screen or a document with this differing leadings, as requested by others before.
