meggiemoo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to figure out how to control the spacing in between pressing enter to start a new line. I'll attach two pictures of what I've done with changing the Leading Override from 2pt to 3pt. You'll see that there is a massive difference between 2 and 3 pt. Is there any way that you can control the spaces between lines more than this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 You shouldn't press Enter to start a new line. Enter is for new paragraphs. If you need to end a line early, use shift+enter which adds a line break.

meggiemoo Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi Walt! Thanks so much for your reply. I've been using shift+enter, however there is still a bit too large of a gap (or too close of one sometimes). Is there some sort of "leading" feature that offers more precision?

dalan_fsu Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Do you have baseline grid turned on? This will also force a larger leading between lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronQ Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm interested in this thread because I am also having a lot of trouble organising leading. I make adjustments as above but nothing changes. If I keep reducing the leading down to 1pt, still no change, then at 0pt it just turns into a jumbled as can be expected. So I know where all those adjustments are but they don't effect anything in the problem text. Then Dalan_fsu' suggestion worked. The problem then became that I want to use baseline grid. But it forces excessive leading in the footnotes at a smaller font. When I turn baseline grid off I can adjust the leading in footnotes as required but it screws up leading elsewhere. So how do I override the snap to the baseline grid b=for one particular text style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
