kerning & leading in dreamweaver

2006-10-28

Could someone please tell me if Dreamweaver has the capability of modifying the kerning and leading of basic text? I am not proficient w/CSS and have basic understanding of Dreamweaver.

My guess is its done with CSS, which Dreamweaver appears to have capabilities with, but I dont understand why its not just part of the properties panel like it is on every other Macromedia or Adobe editing program.

it is available in the CSS panel, not the text panel (as far as I know... don't have DW on this computer)

for leading - use CSS 'line-height'
for kearning - 'letter-spacing'

p {line-height: 130%; letter-spacing:-1px;}

you can use percentages, ems, px, etc.

Oh I see, you must "Add property" and then a long list of options comes up.

Thanks for the help!
