Full Version: spacing of lines in text

Hi,     Smile
After I put in text, I can push the small arrow to make the space between the lines larger; but it won't work going smaller.
If I make it larger; I can make it smaller back to the original position; but I can't go any smaller.   The text really needs to be closer.  It's way too big.
Thank you,
Terry
Maybe you are using the wrong small arrow?

The on-screen options are for selected text only.
The options in the Tool Options are global for the text.

In the attached image line spacing has been set to -30.

I tried both arrows.   If I am at +10,  the down arrow will go down to zero; then start going up again.
The arrow you are using is not for line spacing. It is use to adjust the baseline of some characters:

What you want is the setting in the Tool options:

I found it.
Thank you.
