The default line space style, At Least, automatically increases line spacing to
accommodate characters that are too large to fit the line spacing you set for
the multiline text object. Use the other line space style, Exactly, to line up
text in tables.
To ensure that line spacing is identical in multiple multiline text objects, use
Exactly and set the Line Space Factor to the same value in each multiline text
object.
NOTE Using Exactly can cause text in lines located above or below lines with large
font characters to overlap the larger characters.
To change the line spacing of multiline text
1 Click View tab Palettes panel Properties.
2 Select the multiline text object you want to edit.
3 In the Properties palette, for Line Space Style, select one of the following:
At Least. Adjusts lines of text automatically based on the height of
the largest character in the line. More space is added between lines
of text with taller characters. This is the default setting.
Exactly. Forces the line spacing to be the same size for all lines of text
regardless of format differences such as font or text height.
4 Change the line spacing by entering a new value for either of the
following options. The two line spacing options provide different ways
to set the same thing:
Line Space Factor. Sets the line spacing to a multiple of single-line
spacing. Single spacing is 1.66 times the height of the text characters.
Line Space Distance. Sets the line spacing to an absolute value
measured in drawing units. Valid values must be between 0.0833 and
1.3333.
NOTE After you exit the Properties palette, the value of the other line spacing
option is updated to correspond with the line spacing value that you entered.
