Controlling kerning
Kerning is the adjustment of space between character pairs. Because of their shapes,

increases the amount of space between characters; a negative value decreases it.
Kerning manually
To apply kerning between two characters, do one of the following things:
Use the Kern Amount controls in the Measurements palette. •
Use the ticker controls with or without Shift or Alt/ Opt modifier to modify the •
size
Use the keyboard commands. •
