sfoster71 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 In Publisher is it possible to decrease the space between paragraphs more than the "default"? Under the Paragraph tab, "space before paragraph" is set to 0 by default, (and isnt able to go into negative numbers) Am i missing something?

safoster71 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 to clarify - decrease the space between paragraphs ONLY, not the overall spacing of all the text... which is what i get when i try to adjust it under text/paragraph leading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 You are right, it is not possible to run paragraphs overlap. You can though adjust character leading override locally. That is you have to select each instance by hand and adjust. I do not think you get around this (I thought maybe with character style and first row adjustment.. but I think there is no such selection feature in Publisher styles).

whoofoto Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Agree. Alternately have to (tediously) create lines of text as separate independent units and them move closer to create the negative paragraph space desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Here is what I meant. You have to select whole row (including trailing space) to make leading override to stick. You can select some additional text from the next row for the case you format text later and it shrinks. Leading effect affects only full rows.

For such an innovative program, who wants to make workflow faster, it should be included. adjusting every paragraph is a long winded solution.

I'm still not clear on exactly what you're trying to accomplish. But I thought I'd point out that your problem with spacing between paragraphs may be with the "space after" setting for your paragraphs. "Space Before" may default to 0, but "Space After" defaults to 12 points.
