Typesetting Tips

Double spacing after a period is archaic—a remnant of typewriters and old monospaced type. If you are a graphic designer, chances are 99.9% of the documents you receive to drop into a layout have a double space after punctuation. To fix this, simply use your Find/Change menu to change the double to a single space.

Also, to quickly give your body of text a more sophisticated look, simply decrease the font size from the default of 12pt to 11 or 10pt (depending of the x-height of your font).
