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 Font Tracking Tables dialog box (Edit
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 or Character tab of the Measurements palette.
If you enter a number in a Track Amount field but do not specify a measurement
unit, 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 tab of the Measurements palette.
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).
