Question
When i use justify copy i sometimes get lines of copy that look like there is no space between words. It looks like the line of copy or is one long word. I have send a pic as an example. Is there a setting so that lines of copy don't get kerned so tight?
)
Thanks
bob
Robert,
You might want to change your justification settings. Select your text (or edit the style) and got to the paragraph panel menu and choose justification. If you increase the word spacing, you should get a better effect.
Also, if you use the keyboard short cut to change word spacing you might get the results you want.
Increase word spacing - cmd+opt+\ (ctrl+alt+\)
decrease word spacing - cmd+opt+delete (ctrl+alt+backspace)
