Specifying how leading is measured in Asian type


    Top-to-top leading measures the spacing between lines of type from the top of one line to the top of the next line. When you use top-to-top leading, the first line of type in a paragraph is aligned flush with the top of the bounding box.

    For horizontal type, bottom-to-bottom leading measures the space between lines of type from the type baseline. When you use bottom-to-bottom leading, space appears between the first line of type and the bounding box.

    Note: Bottom-to-bottom leading does not affect the amount of leading between lines, only how the leading is measured. (See Changing leading.)

To specify how leading is measured:

  1. Select the paragraphs you want to adjust.
  2. Choose Top-to-top Leading or Bottom-to-bottom Leading from the Paragraph palette menu. A check mark indicates which option is selected.
