safoster71 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaing Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 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.

iaing Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Can you upload a screenshot of what you're trying to achieve (like fake it with two text boxes)? This one is 0 spacing: Quote MacBook Pro M1 Max, macOS 12.6.1 Monterey Affinity Designer : 2.0 Affinity Photo: 2.0, Affinity Publisher: 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 If you set Character leading to auto and modify Paragraph leading, you can have this, or all your lines of a paragraph on 1 line… Negative values aren't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 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.)

Dave Harris Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Do you want the gap between paragraphs to be smaller than the gap between lines of the same paragraph? Or is this something that you only need at the top of a column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
