The Style buttons enable you to assign the font styles:<br />

Underlined, Superscript, Subscript, SmallCaps, All<br />

Caps and Superior. The styles are activated by clicking<br />

them <strong>with</strong> the mouse. They are deactivated <strong>with</strong> a second<br />

mouse-click.<br />

The popup menu Alignment shows a predefined list<br />

of alignments. It appears when you click on the alignment<br />

name.<br />

The popup menu Colors shows all the colors that were<br />

created in the Colors dialog or that are integrated in<br />

imported EPS images. The popup menu appears when<br />

you click on the color name and hold down the mouse<br />

button.<br />

The popup menu Density shows a selection of<br />

predefined values. It appears when you click on the<br />

arrow next to the percentage value.<br />

The entry field Line Spacing defines the spacing<br />

between text lines. the field accepts both absolute values<br />

in all units as well as the relative value AUTO,<br />

which creates an automatic line spacing dependant on<br />

the font size. Confirm your entries <strong>with</strong> the e-Taste.<br />

The automatic Line Spacing is calculated from the<br />

font size plus the percentage value entered in the<br />

Roman Text tab of the Preferences dialog.<br />

If the automatic Line Spacing is set at “0”, it corresponds<br />

directly to the font size only.<br />

Automatic Line Spacing is selected when the line spacing<br />

is to be defined using the baseline grid. Other than this,<br />

you should always enter your line spacing <strong>with</strong> absolute<br />

values. It makes good sense if you are using millimetres<br />

as your measurement to work in 1/4-mm stages<br />

(e.g. … 4,0; 4,25; 4,75 …).<br />

The entry field Paragraph Spacing defines the spacing<br />

between text paragraphs. The entry field accepts only<br />

absolute values in all units. confirm your settings <strong>with</strong><br />

the e key.<br />

The entry field Character Width defines the horizontal<br />

stretching of a character. The character width can be<br />

set from 10 % to 400 % in 1 % steps, whereby 100 %<br />

represents the original width. Thus values under 100 %<br />

compress the character width, and values above 100 %<br />

increase it, stretching the characters.
