How Do You Fix Leading in Indesign

Select the paragraphs that you want to change. Choose Justification from the Paragraph panel menu or from the Control panel menu. For Auto Leading, specify a new default percentage.

Why is leading not working in InDesign?

Vertical Justification. The first instance in which InDesign can ignore leading is when the Align pop-up menu in the Vertical Justification section of the Text Frame Options dialog box (Command/Ctrl-B) is set to Justify. Vertical justification typically overrides your leading values.

How do you adjust leading?

To adjust leading, select your text box and choose a value from the drop-down menu in the character panel. To do it using your keyboard, select your text box, hold down the option or alt key and press the up/down arrow keys to increase or decrease the leading.
