Editing tracking tables
The application uses tracking information that is built into the font (the font's tracking
table). You can't change a font's tracking table, but you can create a custom tracking
table for any font by using the Tracking Edit dialog box (Utilities menu).
Sending
Sending lets you fix the distance between the left edges of successive character
bounding boxes in horizontal text, or the top edges of successive character bounding
boxes in vertical text. You can apply sending by selecting text and entering an explicit
measurement (such as 2mm or 8q) in the Track Amount field in the Home/Classic
or Character/Character Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. Alternatively
on Windows, you can choose Style > Track/Sending and enter an explicit measurement
(such as 2mm or 8q) in the Track Amount field of the Character Attributes dialog
box.
If you enter a number in a Track Amount field but do not specify a measurement
system, tracking is applied instead of sending. To apply sending, specify a measurement
unit.
You can apply sending to characters that do not have Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
language applied to them. Simply check the Apply Sending to Non-CJK Characters
box in the Character Attributes dialog box (Edit > Character) (Windows only), or
in the Character tab of the Measurements palette (Mac OS X only).
Working with style sheets
A style sheet is a group of paragraph attributes, character attributes, or both that can
be applied to selected paragraphs and characters in one step. Use style sheets to change
unformatted text into styles such as headlines, subheadings, captions, or body copy.
Using style sheets to apply a number of character and paragraph attributes at one time
reduces layout time and helps maintain typographic consistency.
Creating and editing paragraph style sheets
A paragraph style sheet is a named package of paragraph and character attributes. You
can apply all of a paragraph style sheet's formatting attributes to text by simply applying
the style sheet to the text. To create, edit, duplicate, or delete paragraph style sheets,
use the Style Sheets dialog box (Edit > Style Sheets).
