Word Spacing

Used to set the  desired word  spacing. The word spacing text 
field  defaults  at (0.0) and  all  text imported or typed in 
will automatically  adjust  to that  word space setting. Once 
text  field  is set to  a positive  or negative number, newly 
imported  or typed  in text  will adjust to this  fixed  word 
space setting. Word spacing will not kern pair letters.


To change word spacing in text frame:

Select  text  frame.  Then  select  the "Select All" function 
from the "Extras"  menu.  The  text  in  that  frame  will be 
highlighted. Click mouse pointer over the "Word spacing" text 
field  and  key  in  the  desired  word  spacing. Negative or 
positive number characters(-,+) are only allowed in the first 
character field from the left. Calamus automatically defaults 
to a  positive number  setting of (0.0) on boot-up.  Click on
the  value  field  once  again  or press  the  return  key to
update text in frame.


Refer to pages IX-13 and IX-14 in the Calamus manual.
