Leading refers to the space between lines of text, and adjusting it can greatly impact the readability and appearance of your InDesign document. Here's how to adjust leading in InDesign: 1. Select the text you want to adjust. You can either select a single line or an entire paragraph. 2. Open the Character panel by selecting Window > Type & Tables > Character. 3. In the Character panel, locate the "Leading" field. This field displays the current leading value in points. 4. To adjust the leading, you can either click on the arrows next to the leading value to incrementally increase or decrease the value, or click in the field and type a new value. 5. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Option + Up/Down Arrow" (Mac) or "Alt + Up/Down Arrow" (Windows) to incrementally adjust the leading. 6. If you want to adjust the leading for an entire paragraph, select the paragraph and use the same steps above to adjust the leading. 7. To adjust leading for all text in a specific text frame, select the text frame and use the same steps above to adjust the leading. Alternatively, you can also use the Paragraph panel (Window > Type & Tables > Paragraph) to adjust the leading for all text within a selected text frame. That's it! Adjusting leading in InDesign is a simple process that can have a big impact on the readability and appearance of your document.
