In the Text Character inspector, enter a value in the Baseline Shift text box, and
press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
•
Hold down Control+Alt (Windows) or Control+Option (Macintosh) and press
the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to raise or lower the baseline.
Note:
Using the Text Spacing inspector, you can precisely space words and characters.
You can scale text horizontally, adjust word or letter spacing, and keep specified
lines or words from separating.
•
Scaling horizontally modifies the character shapes but not the character
spacing or height; you can make the text wider or narrower without
changing the text's height.
•
Adjusting word spacing changes the amount of space between words to fall
within a specified range, measured as a percentage of standard spacing.
Adjusting word spacing does not affect letter spacing.
•
Adjusting letter spacing changes the amount of space between letters to fall
within a specified range, measured as a percentage of standard spacing.
Adjusting letter spacing does not affect word spacing.
Note:
•
Keeping lines or words from separating allows you to prevent widow and
orphan lines—short lines on their own at the beginning or end of a column,
text block, or page–and prevent specified word groups from breaking apart at
line breaks.
