I'm writing a book set up using paragraph styles. But I want to be able to have flexibility in the layout by altering the tracking or kerning in various sentences as needed. When I try this I get a plus sign after the paragraph style. Is there a setting that can waive the rigid style parameters.
If the hurdle of e-book conversion is off the table, at least for this edition, you can do nearly anything to help shape your results. Hundreds of styles are only an issue in the project management arena, so if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. But that elusive perfection is perhaps the highest peak of book design, and takes a mastery of all the tools down to sometimes swapping one font for another that has more compatible kerning data, and then fifty levels of tweaking from there. Worth learning and mastering... but only for print layout. It is a routine sad story when someone with a book like that decides a Kindle edition would be nice, and finds out what a titanic mess they have as a starting point.(Put simply, print hides all the bones and cardboard props, and e-books flip things around to put those components in the front row...)
