that contains inline graphics, inline boxes and inline tables. The boundary value
limit for proportional leading is -100% to 5000%
When importing Word documents, the text is automatically mapped using
proportional leading.
Incremental leading combines a base amount of auto leading with an absolute
value specified in the Leading field. Incremental leading values must be
preceded by a plus (+) or minus (–) sign.
Auto leading means the application uses the value in the Auto Leading field
(QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Paragraph pane) to decide whether
percentage-based or incremental auto leading occurs. The default — percentage-
b
ased — takes the base amount of auto leading and adds to it a fixed percentage
of the largest font size on the upper line to determine the total amount of
leading between an auto-leaded line and the line above it. The default value for
percentage-based auto leading is 20%. To specify auto leading, enter auto or 0pt
in the Leading field.

Use the Leading controls in the Home or Paragraph tab of the Measurements

field. See “Palettes“ for more information.
