Reply To: How to decrease the space after a 36 pt. Chapter number?

D, Just select the space with the text tool. You'll see it's 36 pt. Decrease it to 12 pt (or something else).

Problem b: select “chapter one”, search for “baseline shift” and set it to 18 pt. If the line above is empty, just change the size into 18 pt instead of 36.

Gert, I've tried changing the font-size-space repeatedly and it does nothing to shrink the space. If I have a title in 36 pt, the space above and space below will stay 36 pt, even if I change the font size to 6! So many things I'm stumped about with Indesign!

But…your recommendation to use the Baseline Shift is brilliant and would work for my inability to move a title up without placing my cursor above and pressing delete. Thank u.
