Troubleshoot text formatting and fonts

Try increasing the line spacing.

All columns within a single text box are the same size. To create columns of different widths within the same story, do the following:

• Create a separate text box for each column.

  How?

  1. On the Objects toolbar, click Text Box .
  2. In your publication, point to where you want one corner of the text box to appear, and then drag diagonally until you have the box size you want.
• Connect the text boxes.

  How?

  When you connect text boxes, text that won't fit into the first text box flows into the next text box. A chain of connected text boxes, also known as a story, can span multiple pages.

  Use connected boxes to:

  • Continue a story in another text box
  • Create columns of different widths
  • Move text from overflow into another box

  1. If needed, create a new text box.

     How?

     1. On the Objects toolbar, click Text Box .
     2. In your publication, point to where you want one corner of the text box to appear, and then drag diagonally until you have the box size you want.
  2. Click in the text box you want as the first text box in the story.
  3. On the Connect Text Boxes toolbar, click Create Text Box Link .

     The mouse pointer changes to a pitcher .

  4. Click in the text box you want as the next in the story.

     This text box is now connected to the first box and any text in overflow now appears in the next box.

  5. To connect more text boxes to the story, repeat steps 3 and 4.
