Hi Larry, I don't find the text tool very intuitive these days. However this is the best I can do:
I'm not sure that XDP uses the term 'leading' in the typical typographical sense. I think the best you can do is use the line and paragraph spacing options.

(blurry screen capture is the result of using Windows 10 Ease of Access 'Make everything bigger' set to 125%)
also far right of the text tool infobar if you click on the button for advanced text bar you will get a baseline shift option that will displace the whole of your selected text block, and also kerning and other options
I never really use these because I rarely if ever layout text in xara - I just know they are there
This. Line spacing / leading can also, once set, be used to update or make a new text style.Quote:

Thank you all, some I had found but will try your suggestions. I may try an older version and see if what I recalled is there.
Egg, which version is this dialog in?Quote:
