Hi!

I am trying to change the space between a sub headline and the body copy. If I place an ordinary return after the headline it makes the space to high and if I make a soft return (with the Shift+ Return keys) it is too small. How can I regulate the space after a headline and even the space before? I tried changing the paragraph spacing in the text style but it doesn’t do anything to my subheadline, although I manage to change the Main headline in the text style and it changes and looks better as seen below? What am I doing wrong? And how can I change the space after a headline and even the space before?

Here you see the bold sub headline (with hard return) and you see spacing is the same above and under and too much away from the connected body copy. And for the Main headlines you can see that the space above is different from the space below towards the body copy that it is connected to. With a soft return I get it closer but too close to the body copy?

 

It doesn’t look like this is possible for some reason. Paragraph Spacing seems to affect the Space AFTER, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to control the Space BEFORE - which is a massive oversight and makes it practically impossible to accurately mock up typographic styles
