What does it mean "apply leadig to entire paragraph" in preference

[Nicole0000]

Hi, in the preference,under type, "apply leadig to entire paragraph" is UNCHECKED.

what does this mean?

Why is it unchecked, what happens when its checked...?

I did play with checking and unchecking to see what happens, I can't tell the differnece...I hight light a paragraph, and apply leading, unchecking or checking gives me the same thing.

Thanks.

you can either change leading to a single line or entire paragraph.

If you just select one line then you will see the difference.

It's because you are selecting the entire paragraph.

Leading is the space that is inbetween lines.

If you apply leading to entire paragraphs then you don't need to select the whole paragraph to apply a set leading to the entire paragraph.

If you don't apply leading to an entire paragraph then you can have different leading for each line within the same paragraph.

This is covered in the Help Files.

It would be helpful to get a book on InDesign, perhaps Real World InDesign CS3 would be a nice object to have on your desk. I know I have one.
