Abstract

Method and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for controlling leading. A region including a plurality of lines in data being typeset and displayed on a display device is specified. One of the lines in the plurality of lines is selected, and a user input is received to set a new leading value (S11, S12). The current leading value of the selected line is determined (S13). The difference between the new leading value and the current leading value is determined (S14). The spacing amount of the selected line based on the difference is adjusted. A desktop publishing system for controlling leading is also described.
