Note: The text Size sliders (in the Dashboard and in the Inspector) are limited to 288
points. To set the text to a larger point size, type a number in the Size field in the
Format pane of the Text Inspector.
Tracking: Tracking applies a uniform value between each character. Tracking is set to 0
by default. To change the tracking value of a text object, drag the Tracking slider left
(for a negative tracking value) or right (for a positive tracking value).
Note: The text Tracking sliders (in the Dashboard and in the Inspector) are limited to
100 points. To set a larger tracking value, type a number in the Tracking field in the
Format pane of the Text Inspector.
Line Spacing: When working with multiple lines of text, drag the slider to change the
space between lines of text. Dragging to the right (above 0) increases the line spacing
and dragging to the left (below 0) creates negative line spacing.
Alignment: Text alignment is set to Left by default. To change alignment, choose Right
or Center from the Alignment pop-up menu.
More Text Parameters
The complete group of the text parameters (including those in the Text Dashboard) are
