TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
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-
based — 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.
To set the alignment of selected paragraphs, do one of the following things:
Use the Leading controls in the Home or Paragraph tab of the Measurements •
palette.
Use keyboard increments to automatically increase/decrease the value in this 
field. See “Palettes“ for more information.
Use the ticker controls with or without Shift or Alt/ Opt modifier to modify the •
leading.
Use the keyboard commands. •
Controlling space before and after paragraphs
Space Before and Space After controls let you specify the amount of space before
and after selected paragraphs.
To set the space before and after selected paragraphs, use the Space Before
Paragraph and Space After Paragraph controls in the Paragraph tab of the
Measurements palette.
Controlling space between paragraphs using same style
Many users had been requesting for an option to define the Space between
consecutive paragraphs having the same paragraph style sheet applied. Prior to
QuarkXPress 2019, whenever user defined the Space Before and Space After in a
paragraph style sheet and the same style sheet was applied on consecutive
paragraphs, then both the spacing would get applied on the consecutive
paragraphs. In such cases, if the user wanted to ignore the spacing between
consecutive paragraphs, he had to locally select the paragraphs and edit the spacing
values.
QuarkXPress 2019 includes a new Space Between option to help define the Space
between consecutive paragraphs having the same paragraph style sheet applied;
using this option you can ignore the spacing or define a custom spacing value for
such paragraphs. This feature particularly applicable when creating Table of
Contents and bulleted/ numbered lists.
