graphics/microsoftoffice06.gif

Kerning is the amount of space between each individual character that you type. Sometimes the space between two characters is larger than others, which makes the word look uneven . You can use the Font dialog box to change the kerning setting for selected characters . Kerning works only with TrueType or Adobe Type Manager fonts. You can expand or condense the character spacing to create a special effect for a title, or realign the position of characters to the bottom edge of the text ”this is helpful for positioning the copyright or trademark symbols.
