In this InDesign how-to video, Colleen Gratzer shows a couple of quick keyboard shortcuts to adjust the type in your documents. Changing up leading, tracking, and font size with a shortcut allows you to keep your hands on the keys and not interrupt the flow of entering text. Colleen also explains how to set the adjustment amount from within Preferences.
This comes from Colleen’s “Time-Saving InDesign Practices” session at CreativePro Week 2021.
