Line spacing feature doesn't seem to adjust my text

Hi,
I'm cutting and pasting lines of results from a Numbers spreadsheet into columns in my Aperture book. The default line spacing 1.0 is too compressed for my liking, so I'd like to stretch all the text in my columns a touch.
I highlight the text and use command-T to bring up the text panel. I can adjust the line spacing slider but not accurately enough to set all columns to the same spacing (sometimes as I drag the slider the spacing will jump from 0 to 1.4 to 3.3 to 5.8 etc, but when I try it with the next column it goes 0 to 0.8 to 2 to 3 to 4.2 etc) and they don't line up.
But if I highlight the text and enter a figure into the line spacing panel (i.e. 0.8), the new spacing amount isn't applied to the text. It's still highlighted but doesn't seem to be selected as I have to reclick it to make adjustments.
Any ideas?

I think the problem might be because I'm using text in a spreadsheet and that it's picking up formatting.
Does anyone know if there is a 'clear formatting' feature in Aperture like there is in Word or Pages?
I don't know of any "clear formatting" options in Aperture books.
As a work-around, to remove any formatting before pasting to Aperture, I paste the text into a TextEdit window and use TextEdit's command "Format > Make Plain Text". Then I copy the plain text to the Aperture Book.
Regards
Léonie

  • My line in sound doesn't seem to work, what's wrong with it?

    I've tried plugging in several mircophones with 1/8" jacks ( I think that is the small standard headphone ones.) The thing is none of these work. The problem is they all say they work with mac. I need to get one of these to work. I've  gone to the system prefs and go to the sound settings and I don't get any farther in my mission to get this to work. Please and thank you to the help I get.

    Hi
    First up when you go into Speech you are using the built-in microphone which has sufficient 'gain' in the circuit in order to work.
    When you plug an external microphone into your PB you are actually plugging a microphone into a 'line input' that is an input designed to accept signals at 'line' level not microphone level. So you either need to get yourself a microphone amp to boost the signal before the input to the PB or a 'line' level microphone. Same thing really except the amp is included in the microphone.
    Hope that helps.

  • Text Line Spacing Question

    Hi, I am creating a book in aperture 2.0 and am having some trouble adjusting the line spacing in a newly created text box. The default text book in the template has a line space of +5. I have created my own text box for another page and the line spacing is +1.
    How do i change this to +5 to match the default. I cant find the option anywhere.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. I find version 2 much nippier than 1.5.6.

    Bruce:
    Thank you for your reply. I generally set all the default margins to "0". I'll adjust the margins for paragraph indentations.
    I'm not sure how to describe the problem better than in my original posting, but I'll try.
    Suppose a form which looks like a contract with headings, single unchanging sentences and dynamic paragraphs.
    Suppose you create a Text Field object, and you use the Concat function. Suppose that you created multiple very long sentences using Concat in that same Text Field. You could use the paragraph window to set the line spacing at 1, 1.5 or 2.
    Set the line spacing at 2.
    Suppose you create a Text object that was either a heading or a sentence or two in length.
    Suppose there are both multiple Text Field and Text objects throughout the document.
    My is issue is lining up the line spacing so it is consistent double spaced throughout the document where there are multiple Text and Text Field objects. If I just look at it, my line spacing is close but far from consistent.
    I set my Text Objects and Text Fields at .25in throughout the whole document and that gets me an approximation of 1.5 line spacing, but that is still only close.
    Thanks for any additional thoughts.
    Best,

  • In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

    I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

    Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

  • PSE11 Can't adjust the line spacing correctly - can anyone help ?

    When I write text in a free style I'm unable to adjust the line spacing anymore - it turns out much to big and whatever value I choose it's every time the same !?!
    When trying text in a box it's all OK, but I seldom use text in a box...
    I'm using PSE since 11/2012 and the problem occured just now
    Has anyone an idea ?

    Click the leading dropdown below and choose "Auto". If this doesn't work click at the flyout button at the top-right corner of tool option bar and choose "Reset Tool".

  • Strange line spacing - space seems bigger every second line

    Hi,
    today I discoverd that pages 08 does something special with line spacing. Every second line in my three column layout with text frames seems to have a bigger space. Settings are checked ... can't find anything...
    I used a Myriad Pro, 10 pt
    An ideas? I can send a screenshot vie mail if wanted/needed.
    Cheers
    Stefan

    Sorry this reply is a bit late, but I was looking for a solution to this same problem myself.
    I got this fault also when using the previous version of Pages on Tiger, but it also occurs in Pages '08 as well and on Leopard.
    I have done some checking, and it's not Font. I have a booklet I make every month, and it usually has Times for body text throughout. Some text will have this weird spacing, other text will be normal. It only happens if I use anything other than 'Exactly' for line spacing. It doesn't seem to happen at all in a text box, but text directly on the page is random with this.
    It also translates to a hard copy too, so it's not just a display issue either.

  • My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

    My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.  Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

    Agree with Richard:
    -Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
    option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
    option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
    Details can be seen in this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
    "Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
    Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
    If someone find a working link please post it.

  • LR5 's Adjustment Brush doesn't seem to work-does the New Radial Filter have priority?

    So why in the world would I update Lightroom in the middle of a job.?
    Before I was able to do in and touch up shadowy areas using (K) adjustment brush, but now it doesn;t seem to work. The radial brush does a good job for a defined area but for SPOT touching I have always used the the adjustment brush?
    Is there a setting or am I missing something or is this a bug?

    The presence of the Radial Filter in the tool set should have no effect on the Brush. It continues to work just as it always has. In fact, even if the RF is open (I sometimes hit it by mistake when I really want the Brush) and you click on the Brush icon, the RF closes and the Brush opens. If your Brush is not functioning properly, it is very unlikely that the RF is the reason. The usual first aid for any LR misbehavior is to close LR, remove the Preferences file from its folder and relaunch LR, allowing it to make a new preferences file. Not guaranteed to solve the problem, but worth trying.

    He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
    You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

  • How to adjust line spacing

    Can you adjust the line spacing in Dreamweaver or does it have to be done by code? And how so?

    Line-spacing on what?  Headings, Lists, Paragraphs...?  With CSS rules, you can define line spacing for all selectors in the body rules.  Or you can specify different line-heights on individual selectors.
    CSS global rule (applied to all selectors):
    body {line-height: 100%}
    CSS more specific rule (applied only to named selectors):
    #header p {
    line-height: 2;
    #footer p {
    line-height: 1.5;
