WestCoastPDX Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hey, awesome community members! I would love to be able to use Leading Override feature ( in Text/Character) HOWEVER, it doesn't work either in AD or in AP! What can I do to make it work?

R C-R Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Character Panel help topic says Quote Leading Override—applies local override to selected text to increase the leading with regard to the paragraph’s leading. "Local" means for selected text in a paragraph, so for example when I select the word "HOWEVER" & increase its leading override to something greater than the paragraph leading, I get something like this: Are you not seeing something similar?

Nada at all I’ve been struggling with this feature myself today. I've used plenty of text "setting" system, ranging from photo-typesetting hardware to page composition programs. This is the first time I've encountered such a thing as "Leading Override" in software and have found it pretty confusing. I'm about to make a new post about it and hope that someone will be able to steer me in the right direction. It does work . . . but how it works seems very strange indeed.

It is probably confusing mostly because it is implemented not as a paragraph attribute but as a 'local' character attribute, even though it affects everything on the same line of text as the character(s) the override is applied to. IOW, leading override is really a text line attribute, but since in Affinity there is no separate text line attribute panel it is included in the character one.

Old Bruce Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Leading is a Paragraph attribute and as such is applied to an entire line of text. The override is there for the rare situation when you have a glyph that has ascenders or decenders which will cover the line above or below it (for situations where the descender is causing problems you would need to choose the line below). If you want to change the vertical location of a word or character use the Baseline Shift for that instance.

CameronQ Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I can't seem to make an adjustment to the leading override setting. I make the adjustment in the text style panel Paragraph > Spacing > Leading but the change I make doesn't do anything. The leading in one paragraph style is different to a second paragraph style even though the leading setting is the same. The Leading Override setting is different but I can't seem to adjust that so they are the same.

Plus check to see if the two Paragraph Styles are set to honour Align to Baseline.

spidermurph Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 There seems to be an issue with text boxes that have been copied and pasted from another document. I am working on a design for a DVD inlay and now need to make it for Bluray. If I copy a text box from one open Publisher window to another the leading is locked in both character and paragraph panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen this behaviour. Is it in fact text or has it been converted to curves? Check the layers panel to see if it is text or curves. Are you using the text Caret to select the text (paragraphs)?
