In PageMaker,
by default the type size is 12 points but you can
change the size as often as you like using the Control
Palette. The Control Palette can be activated or
deactivated from the Window menu.
Changing Typeface Styles
There are ten
different styles for any typeface. They are Normal,
Bold, Italic, Underline, Reverse, Strikethrough,
Small caps, All caps, Super script and Sub script.
Changing Character Specifications
The
Character Specifications dialog box allows you to
choose several type attributes in one step. This
dialog box can be opened by double clicking the Text tool.
Kerning and Tracking
PageMaker provides three types of kerning.
Automatic pair kerning
Automatic pair
kerning adjusts the space between certain character
pairs, based on the kerning information that's built into the font.
Manual kerning
Manual kerning
lets you kern any range of text, from one character
pair to a whole story, using cursor keys or by using the Control palette.
Expert kerning
Expert kerning calculates a manual kerning
value for every character pair in a selected range of text.
Tracking
Tracking is similar to kerning in that it
deals with the horizontal space between letters. PageMaker
includes five built-in tracks from Very
Loose to Very Tight. To set
the required track, first select the text.
