Figure 38: Setting the character position attributes
Two more position attributes can be set on this page:
The (width) scaling of the text, which specifies the percentage of
the font width by which to compress or expand the
individual
characters of the selected text.
The spacing between the characters of the font, which can be
defined in number of points. Selecting the Pair kerning checkbox
causes OOo to automatically adjust the spacing between certain
pairs of characters to visually improve the appearance. For
example, when writing a V followed by an A (VA) the spacing
between the two letters is reduced (strong kerning) as can be
easily seen when compared with, say, VS which is not a kerning
pair.
Formatting paragraphs
To view the paragraph formatting options, select Format >
Paragraph or click the Paragraph button on the Text Formatting
toolbar. If a toolbar with the text icon is not visible, choose View >
Toolbars > Text Formatting. The Paragraph dialog box (Figure 39) is
shown.
