Change the spacing between letters

December 4th, 2006 · Comments · Formatting, How To, Misc, Templates, Tips, Tricks

Select the text you want to change. Click Format, Font, and then the Character Spacing tab. 

Choose one of the following: 

  • In the Spacing box click Expanded or Condensed and enter the amount in the By box. This adjusts the space evenly between all selected characters.
    Or
  • Select the Kerning for fonts checkbox. Enter the point size in the Points and above box.  

Tip: Expanded or Condensed alters the spacing between all selected letters by the same amount while Kerning alters the spacing between specific pairs of letters.
