Let’s say I have a paragraph of text. In the middle of the paragraph are three lines that look like this:
According to experts, the
answer is a resounding
no again and again from
As you can see, the word “no” wraps to the next line, but I want it to be on the line with “answer is a resounding” so I select “answer is a resounding no” and try to adjust the tracking to make it all fit on one line.
Sometimes, tightening the tracking (option-left arrow) will simply pull the “no” up to the previous line as I expect. But, at other times, strange things happen.
Sometimes tracking will actually pull “the” from the end of the line above down to the first of the line with “answer is a resounding” even though “the” was not part of the selection. And sometimes, tracking will just squish “answer is a resounding” together until there’s more than enough room at the end of the line for “no” but it won’t pull up “no” until there’s way, way more than enough room for “no” and the entire line of “answer is a resounding no” is shorter than it was when it was just “answer is a resounding” alone.
Why is this happening and how could I keep it from happening?
