Doble Espacio en InDesign

[Kiwidonss]

Hola, me gustaría saber como se aplica el doble espaciado en un texto InDesign teniendo en cuenta que el tipo de letra es Arial a 12 puntos. Gracias de antemano. He probado de mil maenras pero no me sale como saldría en el Word.

Welcome to the forum.

The term "double (line) spacing", is used in word processing documents. In a professional desk-top publishing application like InDesign, it automatically asigns 20% of the font size or, alternatively, you can add in any amount of leading you want.

It's important to use Paragraph (and Character) to assign specifications to your text, and I suggest you learn how to use them.

Si, eso lo sé, pero lo que más concretamente me gustaría saber es su equivalente. En algunos sitios he leído que si es el doble de puntos que el de caracter y en otros que si el 180%. No sabría como calcularlo. Espero tengáis una respuesta.

Gracias de antemano.

Hola, yo estoy en el mismo problema, y me urge saberlo. No sé si alguien pueda echarme una mano porfavor.

Necesito saber cual es el equivalente del espaciado doble de word al interlineado de Indesign, concretamente en la fuente Arial 12pt.

Sé que el espaciado sencillo de la Arial 12pt en word equivale al inerlineado de 14pt en indesign

pero, el espaciado doble de Arial 12pt en word, no equivale al interlineado de 24pt en indesign

alguien que sepa? por favor

Hi Leticia,

you could meassure the leading. Do some double spacing leading text in Word.

Export to PDF from Word. Place the PDF on an InDesign page, zoom in to perhaps 1200 % and measure the leading. Did that on my Windows machine.

Seems, that the leading should be roughly: 27.72pt.

Which amounts to an Auto Leading value of 231%  230%* on paragraph level if you want to express this value not as a fixed one. Test, if Word does this 231% also with other point sizes and fonts.

From my German InDesign 2022.

Left the placed PDF from Word. At the right my text set in InDesign with an Auto Leading set to 231%  230%* that results in an effective leading value of 27.72pt:

EDIT: Had the wrong screenshot. Corrected now.

In my first try I had the wrong value because I did not zoom in enough.

*EDIT 2: Did some more tests with 72 Pt Arial from MS Word and leading set to 2.0.

Also zoomed in to 3200% in InDesign to get a better result. My new preferred Auto Leading value would be 230% now.
