I have a style override that I actual prefer to the original style. I can't figure out what the difference is and need to see what the rules are for the style override so that I can change everything to that style.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes! Text Frame Options is the controller!

Is there a way to change them all to the same spacing or do I have to check each one individually?

Thank you,

Set up an Object Style. You can even have it auto-apply the caption style.

You can see what is the difference by hovering (without clicking) the style name in the paragragraph style panel. But you also directly redefine the style with these new attributes:

Thank you for your reply.

I'll show examples of what the problem is. Maybe I'm asking the wrong question.

In this first screenshot, I prefer the spacing between the caption and the photo. This style 'Caption2+' has been overridden.

In this screenshot, the caption is using the original Paragraph style of 'Caption 2'. I am able to open the panel to see the rules of 'Caption 2', but I can't figure out what is controling that space between the photo and the caption words.
