•   To change existing text, select the paragraphs or text objects. To set spacing for only one paragraph, place the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph. •   To set the spacing before typing a new paragraph, place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph. •   To apply the spacing settings to the preset format, deselect all objects. 2 If necessary, open the Type palette by choosing Text > Type. 3 To set line-width options, click the Paragraph tab to bring it to the front, if necessary. 4 Depending on the type of justification applied to the text, use the following options on the Paragraph tab: •   For right-, left-, and center-justified text: To set the “Mini- mum Width of Lines,” enter a percentage in the text box. The percentage tells Canvas to adjust letter and word spac- ing so that each line is at least as wide as you specify. For example, if you create a two-inch wide, left-justified para- graph and set the minimum line width to 75%, Canvas adjusts the spacing so that each line is at least 1.5 inches wide. Only the last line in a paragraph is unaffected by the “Minimum Width of Lines” setting. •   For full-justified text: To tell Canvas when the last line of a paragraph is wide enough to be justified (flush with both right and left margins), enter a percentage in the “Justify Last Line Within” box. For example, you create a two-inch wide, full-justified paragraph and tell Canvas to justify the last line within 75%. If the last line is less than 1.5 inches wide, Canvas does not justify the line. However, if the last line is wider than 1.5 inches, Canvas justifies the line. Spacing settings on the Paragraph tab
