Hi there. In this video we're going to look at the space after paragraph,
and we're going to look at leading in the same gap where we change this ticks right
here too magic happens and we've got some space after,
which is the space after these paragraphs here,
and we've opened up the leading a little bit between the lines,
let's go and do that now in this tutorial.
To practice, we're going to open up a separate file;
go to File and open.
In our exercise files under O3 newsletter,
is one and the cold space after, I put them up.
What I've done is, I've got two examples of how you might get type.
One is, when somebody's being typing the put one returning after the full stop,
you can see there is a full stop and the put in a return,
to get down to the next line.
Often this comes from modern versions of Word and modern versions
of word processors because they add space after by default,
old versions don't, you have to put in two returns to get a bit of a gap between them.
When you bring them into in design,
they can look different like this,
this one has two returns,
and this one that has one,
how do you know this two returns?
We can look at something called invisible,
go to "Type" and go down the bottom it says show hidden characters,
when I say invisible, I mean n-characters.
We can see here had that is the symbol for a paragraph break,
there's been a return and in the next line starts,
whereas here you can see there's a return,
and then to put in another space,
put another returns, there's two of them,
let's look how we treat both of those with all space after,
I'm going to turn off my hiddens, or my invisibles.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to select all of this text here,
and what I'm going to do is go to "Paragraph",
so we're on character before get paragraphed,
and the space after is this one here.
It's a long but hard to work out who's who,
looking for that icon if you hover above the icon there,
it'll tell you I am space after.
I'm going to click on it and I'm going to go up through,
now miles of millimeters you as might be sitting,
she's just go up until there's no specific amount you need to have,
it's more of a visual guide like what you
feel is a nice bit of gap between the paragraphs,
that gives you really good control over the space between them,
over a long document.
Whereas this one, he is going to be a little bit different,
say I want to make this smaller,
and what people tend to do is if you want to
make this smaller and you do kind of like caveman,
space after is people just highlight this thing here,
you've probably done it before, I've done it.
You got to character and you make the font size smaller and you can do that,
but you can see the problem with I have to do to this one,
to this one and then if the client comes back and says, ''hey, you know,
that 100-page document you're working on,
can you can you adjust the space after and you've done it this way,'' you say no,
that is far to hard.'
What we need to do is we need to undo if it returns.
What we need to do is clear out,
the double returns just so there's singles
like the top here where it's nice and easy to control.
To do, we need to remove them,
we can do it manually,
of course, this is only a small but a tick,
so we could just go through and actually delete the extra returns,
but say it's a longer document,
we want to be quick, I have selected all the ticks we go to edit,
this one here called find and change.
This is just regular find and change,
find a word to do it with another word.
We're going to use this one at the top vehicle query,
there's some premade, what's called grip find changes.
We're going to use this one that sees multiple returned to single returns.
It's going to go through all my document,
that's the code that grip code for
double returns and it's going to switch it out for a single return.
I'm going to go to change all,
and it's found similar replacements and I click "Okay",
you can see it's done it all in one big go.
I find this is a really quick,
easy health away just to make sure you go single returns.
I've selected all and I'm going to add my space after paragraph,
and I find three millimeters is good,
I'm not sure what it is an inches gap,
but it is just a personal preference.
Before we go, we'll look at leading.
Leading is the gaps between actual lines,
because I kind of some less so let's select it all,
and we're going to go back to character,
and this is one equal leading.
Leading is an old-fashioned way of calling it line spacing,
what we're going to do is increase it up,
you can see the paragraph spacing is the same
but the space between the lines is different.
You adjust those separately and that my friends is space often
what we'll do now is go through and just adjust this one here,
I'm going to first of all slick that all I'm going to make my font at the bottom,
I am going to make it regular,
I'm going to make the font size 10 point,
body copy and magazines is nearly always 10 point,
can be a tiny bit least not too much more because it becomes and hard to read,
12 you'll find if you print it off, it's quite big.
Do a test, print it off,
check it out and go, yeah, 12 is too big,
you might choose 10.5 or 11,
that there's no official number,
but 10 points is normally it.
Now in terms of the leading,
I might open it up just a little bit, defaulted to 12,
we're going to open up to 13 and now I'm going to play around with my space after,
which is just under paragraph notice there,
I'm going to increase this up,
this document is six inches, what looks good?
I don't like that leave alone.
That looks okay, nice.
