Leading changes in last line of paragraph

This may not apply to you and your issue which appears to be resolved but I was searching forums for the same problem. Finally I tried copying my text from the bottom up as opposed to from the top down to paste into InDesign. This eliminated the Leading change in the last line of the paragraph. I did try the above suggestions first.

(Just in case another novice is searching for an answer to this problem!)

Good god. What are you all talking about. Select all, style accordingly. Job done. Create new p.style if you wish. If you keep it simple, it often is. Don't install plugins. Use the fonts you trust. Having said that, vistas lowercase 'a' makes me willy twitch.

Silently followed these forums for some time, but jeez, you all do make a mountain out of a mole hill.

With Apply Leading to Entire Paragraph unchecked it's possible to change the leading to one line within the paragraph (which would be a style override). Like this:

When I have seen this, the usual culprit is a paragraph return character that is larger than the rest of the text.

If you don't want to allow different leading within a paragraph look at Preferences>Type>Apply Leading to Entire Paragraphs. If that preference has been unchecked, you'll have to select the entire paragraph and clear the style's override.

you have to select also the final hidden character and change it 7pt/8pt.
