Adjusting Leading
Leading adjusts the spacing between lines in a title and is applied uni-
formly to all lines in a text box. Marquee uses the leading value built into
each font as the default value.
If you want to adjust leading in more than one paragraph at once, make
sure to include all of those paragraphs in a single text box.
NOTE Leading adjust-
ments can be applied
only at the paragraph
level. You cannot make
a leading adjustment to
only part of a paragraph.
