Simple Text adjustment?

[Julie Magerka]

I've been trying to adjust the line spacing between lines of text that I've typed. They're showing up as what looks like triple-spaced. I tried adjusting the Leading but then it went really weird. Any suggestions? I'm trying to do a journal-type layout and it looks odd with the wide spacing between lines.

The Leading is very finicky. Typically, you start at 0, where it should have "normal" spacing. If you want it less, use only a fraction like -0.2. That will let you see the change and you can adjust to have it closer (-0.4) or not as close (-0.1).

Occasionally, some fonts are created with very large spacing. That has nothing to do with PSP, although you can use the Leading to play with it.

Glad I asked. I adjusted the Leading to -1 and it was all over the place! I also wondered if perhaps the font type might affect it. So you've clarified. Thanks.
