If you select Hang Punctuation on 2-byte text, punctuation hangs only when there is no 
room to adjust spacing and prevent hanging; otherwise, punctuation does not hang. 
You can ensure that punctuation always hangs by also deselecting the Punctuation Hangs 
Only If Space Unavailable option in the Paragraph palette menu. (See 

1 Select any type container or type path using a selection tool, or set an insertion point, 
or select a block of type using the type tools.

2 If the paragraph options are not visible in the Paragraph palette, choose Show Options 
from the palette menu.

3 Select the Hang Punctuation option.

Spacing options control the word spacing and letterspacing in lines of justified or unjus-
tified type. In unjustified type, you can adjust the word spacing without affecting the 
letterspacing. The Word Spacing and Letter Spacing options apply primarily to justified 
type, although you can also apply spacing to unjustified type. 

Spacing options are always applied to an entire paragraph. To adjust the spacing in a few 
characters but not an entire paragraph, use the Tracking option.

1 Select any type container or type path using a selection tool, or set an insertion point.

2 If the Word Spacing and the Letter Spacing options are not visible in the Paragraph 
palette, choose Show Options from the palette menu.

3 Do one of the following:

To change the amount of space between words in a line of type, enter minimum, 

desired, and maximum values in the Word Spacing text boxes. (If the text is not justified, 
only the Desired text box is available.) For justified type, the default values for word 
spacing are 100% minimum, 100% desired, and 200% maximum. At 100%, no 
additional space is added between words. 

To change the amount of space between letters in a line of type, enter minimum, 

desired, and maximum values in the Letter Spacing text boxes. (If the text is not 
justified, only the Desired text box is available.) The default values for letterspacing are 
0% minimum, 0% desired, and 5% maximum. At 0%, no space is added between letters. 

Word spacing and letterspacing are both measured as percentages of the width of a space 
in the selected type size.

Most CJK characters are traditionally mono-spaced; that is, each character is the same 
horizontal width (and height when using vertical text) as all other characters. Some fonts, 
however, use built-in proportional spacing to account for differing widths among 
characters. 

You can change the default monospacing to proportional width (and height) spacing for 
text by using the Tsume option in the Character palette.
