Dropping down text

[Gigatronix Pete]

Hello 

When typing text into a frame text tool whenever i want to drop down to the next line (or press enter) the gap is around a centimeter.

I want to get it much closer to the above line but if i try moving the paragraph leading it only makes the gap bigger, not smaller.

I can get around the problem by using artistc text but can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong with the frame text tool please? 

I have attached an image, A is as close as i can get it by adjusting the leading

B is what i want but it means i have to use Artistic text

Cheers

Pete

Paragraph Leading is, in simple terms, the space between the lines of a paragraph.
However, it does not affect the space between paragraphs – you create a new paragraph by pressing Enter.
For that you will need to change either the Space Before Paragraph or the Space After Paragraph depending on your requirements.

Pressing Enter gives you a new paragraph, and the spacing above/below paragraphs is controlled in the Text Style or (if none) in the Paragraph Panel:

Or, perhaps you could use Shift+Enter, instead, which breaks the current line but keeps you in the same paragraph.
