Where are the Before and After Paragraph settings?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to stop my returns spacing being off in comparison to my leading on body text, and I believe I can do that via the Before and After Paragraph settings but I can't find them. Where are they?

 

I'm on Mac / AD 1.5.5

 

This is all I have in my para panel:

Try setting your paragraph offset values here (purple)

Note that if, say, a 10pt offset "below" is matched in the following paragraph by a 10pt offset "above", the two values will only result in just a 10pt offset (rather than a 20pt one). However increasing one or other will increase the offset.

 

Leading options are here (cyan):

It is the Spacing part of your paragraph panel.

If you look at the OP's screenshot (added via Dropbox, presumably because he or she didn't spot the attachments facility offered when creating the thread) you'll see that there's only a Paragraph Leading control. The labels for the other options are there, but the controls are missing.

Thanks. I didn't realise this but also my panel was blank but a reboot seems to of fixed it. Thanks again  :)
