Less space between paragraphs?


Recommended Posts

This might sound like a wierd question, but is there any way you might add the ability to put negative numbers for the "space between paragraphs"?  Right now 0 = the full height of the font for the row between paragraphs.  there are some instances i'd like less.  Presently, its necessary to either do the "put a space on that line and adjust its font size" or "make a seperate box for each paragraph and adjust them accordiningly".   Both are a bit time consuming, escpecially when it could be so easy as to just change one setting and they all play nice :-)

 

Please?  :-D

I might be misunderstanding you - but you don't need a second return between paragraphs, instead just use the 'Space after paragraph' in Paragraph spacing. In this screenshot I've turned on Text>Show Special Characters so you can see there's just a single return after each paragraph.

Can you upload a screenshot of what you're trying to achieve (like fake it with two text boxes)? This one is 0 spacing:1526285683_ScreenShot2018-10-12at20_39_31.thumb.png.2b064e1217c2e880710d1b6b905cdcec.png

You can use "Leading override" field in Character panel. It is manual as you must do the same trick for each paragraph but it a bit easier that other workarounds. Select first row of the paragraph (or at least less than two rows as value affects whole full rows only).

(Of course having negative values in para panel would be better.)
