Affinity Publisher & Everything You Need To Know about Line Spacing. Or Leading if you will.
Channel: Affinity Inspiration
Date: 2020-03-09

Line Spacing in Publisher and everything you need to know. OMG... This video is Long. Really, it's a simple formula. Forget the old fashioned Single or Double line spacing. It's so last century. Now we are talking about Leading. (As in Bedding). I know, it looks like "leading the dog", but it's not. 

It's about pronouncing lead as in lead sinkers or lead roof cladding. Or... leading in the typesetters kit. Oh wait, that's even older than Line spacing. Leading is a term invented at least a century before typewriters. 
Leading is a typesetting term. That's all you need to know.
Simply - select your text in Publisher, set the Font, and the Point (pt) size, then on the right in Char, set the Leading override. Set it to between 120% to 145% of the Font Point Size. Yes, it does depend somewhat on your font Type. 
If you lecturer says disdainfully, "It must be double line spaced you know!" you can confidently reply... "It is. It's set to 145% of the font size measured in Points, which is 14pt."
