range of acceptable spacing for justified paragraphs only. The Desired value defines the desired spacing for both
justified and unjustified paragraphs:

Word Spacing
from 0% to 1000%; at 100%, no additional space is added between words.
The distance between letters, including kerning or tracking values. Letter Spacing values can range
Letter Spacing
from –100% to 500%; at 0%, no space is added between letters; at 100% , an entire space width is added between
letters.
The width of characters (a glyph is any font character). Glyph Spacing values can range from 50% to
Glyph Spacing
200%; at 100%, the height of characters is not scaled.
Spacing options are always applied to an entire paragraph. To adjust the spacing in a few characters, but not an entire
paragraph, use the Tracking option.

Indent paragraphs
Indention specifies the amount of space between type and the bounding box or line that contains the type. Indention
affects only the selected paragraph or paragraphs, so you can easily set different indentions for paragraphs.
Do one of the following:
1
• Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.
• Select the paragraphs you want affected.
2 In the Paragraph palette, enter a value for an indention option:
Indents from the left edge of the paragraph. For vertical type, this option controls the indention
Indent Left Margin
from the top of the paragraph.
Indents from the right edge of the paragraph. For vertical type, this option controls the
Indent Right Margin
indention from the bottom of the paragraph.
Indents the first line of type in the paragraph. For horizontal type, the first line indent is relative to
Indent First Line
the left indent; for vertical type, the first line indent is relative to the top indent. To create a first line hanging indent,
enter a negative value.
Adjust paragraph spacing
Select the paragraphs you want affected, or select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to
1
be affected. If you don't insert the cursor in a paragraph or select a type layer, the setting applies to new text you
create.
2 In the Paragraph palette, adjust the values for Add Space Before Paragraph
Paragraph .
