Reply To: Shortcut/Style for adding specific space between lines

Are you trying to make a separate style just for space above or below?

I put the space into my main style sheets.

For example, a header (HA) might have 18 points above and six points above.

An extract will have a line space above and below.

I set them up in my main style sheets.

I have no idea why what you’re doing is causing it take on the characterics of the text below. And so far as I know, you can’t create a style or shortcut to add space the way you want.

On option (though I would never use it), is to create a style that is blank except for (in your case) leading of 0.0625″. Then you type in a hard return below that head apply that style to it.

But, like I said, I would never do that–though I have seen some designe files where they’ve done it. I immediately change the stylesheets to fix that problem.
