Word Space Tracking
The Word Space Tracking feature enables you to apply tracking to word spaces only. (Tracking values are normally applied between both characters and words.) This feature can only be accessed through keyboard commands.
Windows
| Tracking value | Command |
|---|---|
| Increase space by .05 em | Control+Shift+@ |
| Increase space by .005 em | Control+Alt+Shift+@ |
| Decrease space by .05 em | Control+Shift+! |
| Decrease space by .005 em | Control+Alt+Shift+! |
Note: Word Space Tracking is applied by applying manual kerning after each selected space. To remove Word Space Tracking, select the text and then choose Utilities > Remove Manual Kerning.
