MODE (BUTTONS)
QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Paragraph pane
Using the Mode buttons, you can specify the leading method used to space
lines of text.
• Click
Typesetting for leading to be measured upward from the baseline on one
line of text to the baseline of the line above. This is the method preferred by
most typesetters and is selected by default.
• Click
Word Processing for leading to be measured downward from the top of
the ascent on one line of text to the top of the ascent on the line below it.
AUTO LEADING (FIELD)
QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Paragraph pane
In the Auto Leading field, enter the line spacing percentage. Unlike paragraphs
with absolute leading (which applies identical line spacing above every line),
paragraphs with auto leading can include lines with different leading when
different fonts and font sizes are mixed in the same paragraph.
Auto leading starts with a base amount of leading, which is calculated by exam-
ining the
ascent and descent values built in to the fonts used in an auto-leaded
line and the line above it; however, the user-specified text size is the major
factor that determines this base amount. Finally, any value you specify in the
Auto Leading field is added to the base amount to arrive at the total amount
of leading.
MAINTAIN LEADING (CHECK BOX)
QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Paragraph pane
With Maintain Leading, you can control the placement of a line of text that
falls immediately below an obstruction in a column or box. Check
Maintain
Leading
to place the line’s baseline according to its applied leading value.
Uncheck
Maintain Leading to place the ascent of the line at the bottom of
the obstruction or any applied runaround value
(Item Þ Runaround). This
box is checked by default.
BASELINE GRID (AREA)
QuarkXPress Server Þ Preferences Þ Paragraph pane
A baseline grid is a layout-wide grid; you can lock the baselines of text in
paragraphs to this grid. When you lock text baselines in adjacent columns
to the grid, the baselines align across columns.
• In the
Start field, enter how far from the top of the page the first line of the grid
must be placed. The default value is 0.5 mm.
• In the
Increment field, enter the space between the grid’s baselines. The default
value is 12pt.
