What does it mean to start a line with 10 point leading?
Leading is the line spacing, i.e. the space measured from the baseline of one
line of text to the baseline of the line of text above or below it. In Word 2003 and older, you can set the line spacing via Insert Paragraph Indents and Spacing tab Line spacing. In your case, select €śExactly€ť and type 10 pt in the €śAt€ť box. You can define your styles to use the desired line spacing.

"Leading" is the printing term for what Word calls "line spacing." Set the
line spacing to Exactly 10 points. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Goldy540" wrote in message ... I have instructions to format a paragraph using Adobe Caslon Regular 9 point, 10 point leading........What does 10 point leading mean? |

"Leading" is vertical spacing added between lines of type. See e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading In Word I think you would probably do this by setting Format|Paragraph|Indents and spacing|Spacing|Line spacing to "Exactly" and putting 10pt in the "At" box. But that assumes that what you have been told is what is actually required. They might want, for example /at least/ that amount of vertical spacing (for that you could use "At least" instead of "Exactly". Probably best to check back before getting too committed. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Goldy540" wrote in message ...
