Adjusting character and word spacing
You can improve text readability by adjusting the character and word spacing. When letters or words are too close together, or too far apart,
they become difficult to read. Corel DESIGNER offers you different tools for controlling text spacing.
Character spacing
You can change the spacing between characters (also known as “letter spacing”) in a block of text. For example, fully justifying a block of
text may insert too much space between characters, which creates a visual imbalance. To improve readability, you can decrease the character
spacing.
Increased character spacing (left) makes it difficult to read the text. Decreased character spacing (right) improves readability.
If you want to change the spacing between several characters, you need to adjust the kerning. For more information, see “Kerning a range
of characters” on page 403.
Word spacing
You can also adjust the spacing between words.
