Spacing above/below a paragraph (text frames only)

Note: The spacing above/below a paragraph can only be set for text that was inserted into a text frame. To set the spacing between cells, you can change their row height at any time.

In addition to line spacing, you can also define how much space should be kept above the first line and below the last line of a paragraph for text in a text frame.

To do so, open the dialog box by clicking on the group arrowgroup_arrow of the ribbon tab Home | group Alignment. The following options are available in the Paragraph spacing section:

Before

Here, specify how much spacing should be maintained from the end of the previous paragraph.

After

Here, you can enter the spacing that PlanMaker should maintain up to the start of the next paragraph.

Note: These values do not affect the amount of space between lines within a paragraph (see Line spacing).
