Adjust character spacing in a Pages document

Paragraph Spacing in Outlook for Mac Just upgraded Outlook for Mac to v15.20 as part of an Office 365 subscription. I like the new text formatting options (this has been a bugbear for me for a while), but notice that the default paragraph spacing for new emails is set to 8 pt - and I can't find a way to change it. How can the answer be improved?

You can increase or decrease the spacing between characters in any text. You might want to do this, for example, to experiment with line length in a document, or to make a title fit on a single line.

Another way to affect character spacing is to use ligatures, a decorative joining of two characters to form a single typographic character. You can use ligatures in your document if the font you’re using supports them.

Increase or decrease the space between characters

Select the text you want to change, or select a text box to change all the text in it.
- For specific text: The character spacing applies only to that text.
- For a text box: The character spacing applies to any text you type in the box after you apply the change.
In the Format sidebar, click the Style button near the top.
If the text is in a text box, table, or shape, first click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar, then click the Style button.
In the Font section, click , then use the arrows to change the Character Spacing value.
The default spacing is zero. Increasing the value widens the spacing, and decreasing the value tightens it.

If you want other text in the document to use the same settings, you can define a new paragraph style from your selection, then use that style for other text in your document.

Turn ligatures on or off for the document

In the Document sidebar, click the Document tab.
Select or deselect the Ligatures checkbox.

Regardless of the document-wide setting for ligatures, you can turn ligatures on or off for specific text. See the next task to learn how.

- Use Default: Uses the ligature settings specified in the Typography window for the font you’re using.
  To open the Typography window, choose Format > Font > Show Fonts (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).
- Use None: Uses regular spacing with no ligatures for the font.
- Use All: Uses all available ligatures for the font.

No Rodney:

Your response did not answer his question :-)

He wants to set the 'Default paragraph spacing'.

That is: the space between paragraphs. Not the line height (which is what you are talking about).

And he wants it as a default, which means he wants to set the spacing of the Normal style in the Normal template, not directly in the document.

Koray:

The following will work:

Ensure your cursor is in a paragraph that is formatted with Normal style.
Click the Styles Pane button on the Home tab of the Ribbon to open the styles pane.
In the Current Style box at the top, drop down the disclosure triangle at the far right of the name 'Normal' and choose Modify style.
In the bottom left of the Window that appears, open the Format drop-down list and choose Paragraph.
In the Spacing section of the dialog that opens, set Before to 0, After to 10 pt, and Line spacing to At Least 1.15 li.
OK that.
In the Modify Style dialog that appears, at the bottom left, check the Add to template checkbox.
OK the dialog.

Apply The Open Paragraph Spacing

Step 7 is the critical step: checking that box writes your updates back to the Normal template, so what you have specified here in the current document will actually become the 'Default' for the documents you create in the future.

The spacings I have given you are what I find quite nice, and many people use: feel free to vary them if you wish. For example, 10 pt is appropriate if your font height is 10 or 11 points: if you use 12 points font, open it up a bit -- maybe 12 points, or 14 for a more open look. A line height of 'At Least' allows Word to grow the line height if you have some letters in a larger font on the line, otherwise you will suffer cut-off letters. If you want a more compact look, you can specify 'Single' here, or for a more open look, 1.5.
