1. Leading: To increase leading, select the text then press Alt/Option+Up arrow; to decrease leading, use Alt/Option+Down arrow.

2. Tracking: To increase tracking, select the text then press Alt/Option+Right arrow; press Alt/Option+Left arrow to decrease it.

3. Baseline: To set the Baseline options for a text box, press Ctrl/Command+B. It’s easy to remember, too: B is for Baseline
