Adjusting kerning in InDesign is a simple process that can help improve the overall appearance of your text. Here are the steps to adjust kerning in InDesign: 1. Select the text you want to adjust the kerning for by clicking and dragging your cursor over the text. 2. Go to the Character panel by selecting Window > Type & Tables > Character, or by pressing Ctrl+T (Windows) or Cmd+T (Mac). 3. In the Character panel, locate the Kerning option. It should be located towards the middle of the panel. 4. Adjust the kerning by clicking on the up or down arrow next to the Kerning value. You can also click on the value and type in a new number manually. 5. If you want to adjust the kerning of individual characters, select the characters you want to adjust and adjust the kerning as described above. 6. You can also adjust the kerning of entire words by placing your cursor between two letters of the word, and adjusting the kerning as described above. 7. If you want to adjust the kerning of an entire paragraph, select the paragraph by clicking on the text frame containing the paragraph. Then, adjust the kerning as described above. Adjusting kerning in InDesign is an effective way to improve the readability and overall appearance of your text. Remember to use it sparingly and only when necessary, as too much kerning can actually make your text more difficult to read.
