To Automatically Tighten or Loosen the Character Spacing of Text

RSG has an automatic tracking feature that reduces white space between all characters in a selection or typed after an insertion point. You can choose one of three preset levels of tracking.

  1. Select the text you want to track. Or select an insertion point.You may find it helpful to magnify your text. Choose Views from the Document menu, and then choose Double Size. This works best when your system contains the font at double the size of the character pair.

  2. Choose Auto Track from the Format menu and choose Level 1, 2 or 3.Level 1 removes the least amount of white space and Level 3 removes the most. None of the preset levels affect type whose size is less than 12 points. To change the amounts of tracking at the different levels and to change the font sizes that can be tracked, see To Change the Auto Track Levels, later in this chapter.
