Set kerning

  1. Do one of the following to select the text you want to kern:

    • Use the Text tool to click between two characters or to highlight the characters you want to change.

    • Use the Pointer tool to select an entire text block. Shift-click to select multiple text blocks.

  2. Do one of the following to set spacing:

    • In the Property inspector, drag the Kerning pop-up slider or enter a percentage in the box.

      Zero represents normal kerning. Positive values move letters farther apart. Negative values move letters closer together.

    • Hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while pressing the Left Arrow or Right Arrow keys on the keyboard.

      The Left Arrow key decreases the space between letters by 1%, and the Right Arrow key moves letters farther apart by 1%.

      Hold down Shift and Control (Windows) or Shift and Command (Mac OS) while pressing the Left Arrow or Right Arrow keys to adjust kerning by 10% increments.
