Space after Paragraph: How much picas equal a blank line in Garamond Regular 7.5?

I'm using Indesign CC and would like to add a blank line after every paragraph in my document. I found out how to do that, but the only unit I'm offered is picas. I could probably switch to inches, but that doesn't really help me. My main text is written in Garamond Regular font size 7.5 and I would like to have blank space after each paragraph equal to a blank line written in that font with that size. How do if find out much large a blank line with those font settings is? I guessed and it seems to be equal to 0p7, but it would be great if I could do that without guessing blindly. I'm glad for any help.

I am not sure to understand. Garamond (or any other typeface) 7.5 equals to… 7.5 pts. But the size of a typeface is measured from ascender to descender, so it does not give you an accurate idea of the real height of the line. But leading is measured from baseline to baseline and this corresponds to the measure you are looking for. Once again, you need to know the leading value and you have to enter this value for the space after.
And 1 pica is equal to 12 pts.

How do I remove space after paragraph?

Does Robohelp have the "Remove Space after paragraph" button for reducing the space between lines, like the one in Word?

In HTML the space after is controlled by the style in your CSS file. You need to edit the style in the Style Editor.

Getting blank space after paragraph in RTF template

Hi there,
Thanks so much for all your help for your help.
I am running into one issue in RTF template, wanted to share with you to get any input on this. I have paragraph and Idid put in table at the top and there is xml tag that gives names after that paragraph. but I get blank spaces after paragraph and it shows names from that xml tag.
I tried to remove spaces by deleting between pargraph and xml tag<name> , still i get blank page between paragraph text and names.
Can anyone help me or point me to get it resolved that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Varma for your prompt response and your time on this. I am still trying to get any other options to get this done as that is the requirement and with that blank page looks not fully satisfied for users and am trying any other ways to do implement this..
That's the reason I thought of putting this post again to get more inputs that may have.
Can anyone put some light onthis.
Thanks a lot..

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:
Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/
This is the trouble with the Peeky Boo Contextual Interface that so many wiser heads than mine love to love.

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?
Can I combine text blocks into one paragraph that are now given line by line?
Is there a way to add a paragraph to an existing pdf and have the remaining text flow to the next pages?

You can't, no, and no. Acrobat is not a word processor, and trying to use it as if it is will lead to enormous frustration and disappointment. Maybe you need to convert this document to Word if you want to do this sort of editing, but don't expect fancy layout to be preserved.

Pages: Space after paragraphs

I am unable to find a way to create space before or after paragraphs. The original Pages inspector facility was just brilliant, better than Word, so why tinker with it? Hard to understand this. The new Pages interface is not easy to follow, but I guess I will get used to it. Could anybody please tell me how I can create space before and after paragraph in a document.
Please help,
Pat

I had the same problem and looked forever without luck. Fortunately, my little brother found the answer!

I want to update my Mac from 10.6.8 to Mavericks, but every time it says update unavailable for this computer. How do I check for space available or how much space I have used? Help please, I am new to using Mac computers.

I am a new Mac user and I bought a refrubished Mac that has Mac OS X VERSION 10.6.8. I have been wanting to upgrade to Mavericks, but every time I go to do that a message comes up saying OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anyway I can instal it? Better yet how can I look up how much GB of memory I have and the available storage?

1. No, but you might be able to upgrade to Lion. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check that the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, and if so, click here.
2. Check the RAM from the About this Mac window, choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, control-click the internal drive, and choose Get Info. If the computer has a 32-bit EFI, it can't be upgraded to Mountain Lion or above regardless of the RAM and free drive space.

Space after paragraph not appearing in browsers.

Question from a newbie.
I'm using Dreamweaver (latest version) to create a rather long daily newsletter. Lots of paragraphs. I'm finding that many times, after a paragraph, I'll see a space before the next pargraph but then when I save the final page and open it in a browser the space between the paragraphs is gone.
This doesn't happen with every paragraph. I can go back and 'fix' this by backing up the second paragraph into the previous, then hitting Enter twice.
What I want: If I see a single line space between two paragraphs in Design mode I want it to appear that way in my browser. (I use both Firefox and Chrome.)
Thank you!

Thanks in advance for your help.
FYI - I'm creating a rather long HTML newsletter for clients each day. It's mostly paragraph after paragraph. Very simple.
In the problem described above I noticed that when in Dreamweaver I always see a line between paragraphs. This is what I want to see. But a few times in each document, when I open it in a browser the line has gone away.
When the line has vanished (in my browser) is see this code between paragraphs:
 
When the paragraphs show up as they should in the browser this is the code between them:

Align text between columns with space after paragraphs.

I am creating a proposal with a ton of text. I used to align everything to a baseline grid with justified type and indented paragraphs. Recently, however, I was asked to change the style to left aligned text with spaces between the paragraphs. The text flows into two columns per page, but I'll be damned if I can get the text to line up. I've tried different baseline grids as well as before and after spacing. I think my issue might be trying to keep paragraph spacing as half the leading. If my copy text leading and baseline are 14 or 7 pt, will a 7 pt paragraph space after work?
My leading and pt size is below, if anyone can point me to a solution.
Body copy: 9 pt font/14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 3.5/3.5
Subheaders: 10 pt font/ 14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 7/3.5
Baseline: tried both 14 pt and 7 pt

That's what I thought. I was taught to either have an indented second paragraph or to separate the paragraphs by half the leading of the type. Seems like it's impossible to align the text that way. A full leading separation (14 pt) between paragraphs seems excessive though.

Space after paragraph

The new version of Pages is missing a few things, or at least I can't find them (flow between text boxes being foremost). Where is the tool to add space after and/or before a paragraph?

Space after paragraph "returns"

Hi!
I've made a template so that I don't have to keep telling Pages not to make space after each paragraph, but... Each time I use a style (like Heading) it automaticlly sets the space after a paragraph to 12 pt. This is annoying - can I change it?
Thanks

You are most welcome.
I found the pdf Pages 2 User Guide accessible from the front help page to be the most useful thing. It's 250 pages but there is a great deal of white space in there. It contains most of the useful conceptual stuff you need that is absent from the individual help snippets.
Don't ever feel guilty about posting a question though. That's what these boards are for.

How do I TRANSFER a blank line to a dataset?

Hey everyone,
Learning all about datasets today, and it seems clear enough. What I'm doing is outputting a "report" of sorts to a dataset during a batch process. I'm reporting on whether or not each transaction processes successfully, as well as providing a summary at the end.
I'd like to put a blank line in a few places, but when I try to TRANSFER what I believe should be a blank line, I don't see a blank line in the resulting file.
Here is my OPEN command:
OPEN DATASET w_dsn FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
I suppose if worse comes to worse, I can always output a "blank" line with some small character, such as a period.
Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Dave, this is working for me as well.
report zrich_0001.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/NSP/SYS/Data1.txt'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
 rec(200) type c,
 end of itab.
start-of-selection.
itab-rec = 'This is record number 1'. append itab.
itab-rec = 'This is record number 2'. append itab.
open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding default.
loop at itab.
 transfer itab to d1.
 transfer ' ' to d1.
endloop.
close dataset d1.
There is a space between the quotes here.
You can also use the keyword space.
loop at itab.
 transfer itab to d1.
 transfer space to d1.
endloop.
REgards,

How to space after paragraph in pages

If I could do one thing with Pages on the iPad, I would be completely happy with it: controlling the spacing after a paragraph.
This formatting feature is in the regular Pages and the cloud version. Why leave it out of the iPad version?
Or is it there and just very difficult to find?

Mystery spaces after paragraphs, effect from cutting/pasting

I am typing a rather long document for a graduate class. I placed my notes, quotes, etc. in an outline form in pages 09. I am now cutting and pasting those texts into a new document in pages 09. HOWEVER, at the end of a paragraph, it gives me mysterious blank space and starts the next paragraph on the next page. I've checked and I do not have it set up to do the "paragraph on next page" from the inspector. It has something to do with the cutting and pasting, I'm sure.
any help? how do you erase phantom space? ps---- I have tried deleting back to it, but the moment you hit enter, its back down AND don't try using space bar because it resets itself after a while. HELP!

It obviously has some hidden formatting characters.
You can try and show them by:
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles+
But to purge them, best is simply copy and paste all the text into a text only TextEdit page, then cut that and paste it back into Pages as clean text.
