FAQ
What should I do if text overlaps or the spacing becomes too large?
- Select the text again and reopen the Character Spacing settings.
- Check whether the measurement value is too large or too small, and start with a smaller adjustment.
- Switch back to Normal first, then change to Expanded or Condensed based on the preview.
Why is there no visible change after I adjust character spacing?
- Make sure you selected the actual text content, not just an empty area or unrelated object.
- Reopen the font or character spacing settings and confirm that you clicked OK.
- If other formatting affects the result, return the text to a regular layout state and try again.
How do I restore the default character spacing?
- Select the target text.
- Open the Character Spacing settings.
- Change the spacing back to Normal and clear any extra measurement value, then click OK.
What is the difference between scaling and spacing?
