Alignment determines the position of each line of type in a paragraph relative to
the left and right edges of the text block. Type can be aligned to the left or right
edge of the text block, centered within the text block, or aligned to both edges of
the text block (full justification).
Leading is the distance between adjacent lines in a paragraph. By default, leading
is equal to the current type size. You can set leading to 120% of the type size.
You can also specify custom leading values in three ways. With the Extra (+)
option, you specify a value in points to be added to the current type size. For
example, if the current type size is 24 and you enter 20, the leading will be 44; if
you change the type size to 30, the leading will be 50. With the Fixed (=) option,
you specify leading as an exact point size; the leading remains at the size entered
even if you change the current type size. With the Percentage (%) option, you
specify leading as a percentage of the current type size; the leading value changes if
you change the current type size.
Kerning controls the space between two characters, relative to the width of an em
space (the width of an "m" in the current font). A positive kerning value increases
the space between characters; a negative value decreases the space. Range kerning
controls the space between all characters in a selection.
You can also control the spacing between words or characters numerically. For
more information, see "Spacing characters and words precisely" on page 338.
Baseline shift controls where type appears in relation to its baseline.
