Adjust letter spacings on-screen

Use Reshape > Reshape Object to change letter spacing.

Spacing between letters is calculated automatically as a percentage of letter height. In most cases the default spacing is adequate. Sometimes you may want to control the overall letter spread to fit a particular location. Similarly, you can change the space between lines in a multiple-line lettering object using the Reshape Object tool. Sometimes spacing between certain letters may appear too large or too small, depending on the shape of neighboring letters. To compensate for this visual effect, you can move one or several selected letters closer or further apart along the baseline to improve spacing.

Tip: When the justification setting is Full, letters are evenly distributed along the baseline. To change the spacing for fully justified lettering, simply change the length of the baseline.

Tip: Alternatively, to move multiple letters, right-click the diamond control point of the first letter and drag. All letters to the end of the line move as one.
