Line Spacing

[Taylor Francis]

Is there a way to reduce the spacing between lines for a slight textual
overlap? I tried putting -1pt in the line spacing box (it says -1 is
valid) but it doesn't work. I think the word for what I'm trying to
adjust is kerning, but I can get it to work....


Here's what I want to do...
I have the following text...

|||||||||||
| | | | | |



When it prints, there is a slight gap between the vertical bars. I'd
like them to touch or overlap slightly...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Taylor

In Word 97, Format Paragraph allows you to set line spacing to
"Exactly" some setting. Try setting it to a couple of points lower
than your font setting. I didn't print out my test, but it appeared to
work when I viewed my test text at 500%.

Try Format | Font and Condense it under the Character Spacing tab.

The original poster was concerned about line spacing, not character
spacing I believe.
