Hello,

In a single paragraph, I would like to create a little vertical space between two sentences. How do I do it ?

    In FM all lines of a pragraph have the same vertical space usage.

    IMHO You would need to split the paragraph into two and then define Space Before fo the second part ("Otto Ralf ...) to fit your desire.

    Finally, I have separated the paragraph into two parts, and created a paragraph style with a space before paragraph, in order to re-use it later :

    Klaus and others have impeccably answered this question; is there a way we can now let it drop from the top spot in our forum?! It seems to keep getting locked and pinned.

    I don't know about the pinned part, but I can certainly lock it if you want....

    Hi Studio,

    In fact, at the blue arrow on the screenshot, I would like to create a space between two lines, inside the same paragraph.

    It could be a space of less than one line (a little space) that I could set in pt.

      Barb Binder has written an excellent blogpost on the subject here:

      https://iconlogic.blogs.com/weblog/2010/02/adobe-framemaker-working-with-fixed-spaces-in-a-document.html

      Another option is using a normal "space" using the space button on your keyboard. When inserted, you can modify the width of that space using the Character Designer (Ctrl+D) like this

      If you are attempting something which requires muliple lines, where the "space" needs to align with subsequent lines, tabs are are the answer.
