Text composition
Compose text
The appearance of text on your page depends on a complex interaction of processes called composition. Using the word
spacing, letterspacing, glyph scaling, and hyphenation options you’ve selected, InDesign composes your type in a way
that best supports the specified parameters.
InDesign offers two composition methods: Adobe Paragraph Composer (the default) and Adobe Single-line Composer
(both are available from the Control panel menu). You can select which composer to use from the Paragraph panel
menu, the Justification dialog box, or the Control panel menu.
