Changing the spacing between paragraphs
When you apply space before or after a paragraph that is aligned to the baseline grid, the
spacebefore/aftervaluesareignoredandthefirstlineoftheparagraphisplacedonthenext
baseline grid line. For example, if you apply Space Before (greater than 0 and less than 14
pt) to a paragraph that's aligned to a 14-pt baseline grid, the paragraph will automatically
start on the next available baseline. If you apply Space After, the following paragraph will
automatically jump to the next available baseline. This creates a 14-pt space between the
paragraphs.
Tip
When applying paragraph attributes, it isn't necessary to select an entire
paragraph with the Type tool. Just select part of the paragraph or para-
graphs you want to format. If you are formatting only one paragraph, you
can simply click in the paragraph to place an insertion point.
Here, you'll make the subheads in the main story stand out more by inserting space above
them. Then, you'll update the Subhead paragraph style to automatically apply the new spa-
cing to all the subheads.

automatically to the next grid line.
