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 Classic or Character Attributes tab of
the Measurements palette. Alternatively, 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).
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).
