Avoid adding too much space between paragraphs (QuarkXPress)

When making paragraph styles in the Paragraph Attributes dialog box to separate paragraphs, you may be tempted to add unwanted space between your paragraphs and not even know it.

To access the Paragraph Attributes dialog box:

1. Choose Edit > Style Sheets.
2. Select a paragraph style sheet.
3. Click Edit to display the Paragraph Attributes dialog box.
4. Click on the Formats tab.

Here you can either numerically add Space Before or Space After. If you add space to both, you’ll end up with undesired space between the paragraphs. Also, keep in mind that text boxes already have extra space at the bottom when they’re top aligned, so you may want to use Space After instead of Space Before.
