mnh Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi All, New to Affinity range. I have a text frame. I wish to increase "Line space" between 2 top lines. I found to increase paragraph spaces and character spaces, but not for line spaces - e.g. just top 2 lines. Is there something like that? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If I understand what you want, you can select the top two lines you want to change and use Leading override on the Character panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnh Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi Dave, Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry, could not find the "Leading override"? I am in Publisher, select the text in a text frame and then on the right side am looking at Character panel? A related question, what if I want "Line spacing for an entire text frame, or to then save that to the "Style" of a "Body text". In the old legacy range, I had "Line spacing" in text frame or paragraph options, and could select something like "Single, 1.5, Double, etc., or also specify custom height... Hope something like this is available in Affinity Publisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set it to a multiple of the font's recommended leading, or a fraction of the text point size, or an absolute number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
