Margin

Example:


Word Spacing

Word Spacing feature can be used to track paragraphs to gain/loose lines. This is a helpful feature for base aligning/column balancing. The preferable values that can be set in the UI are as follows: from 0.23 for tightening to 0.43 for loosening. This value can be extended on either side to 0.15 for tightening and 0.55 to loosening, respectively for abstract and body sections. Values between this range (0.23-0.43) would be more appropriate.

To be discussed with Augustine


Option showing in PDF place floats and Editor place floats differ. For example, I tried to place the figure in the second column, so that selected the column start as 2 on PDF proof control, it did not work. 

It shows the editor place floats as different.

Width factor given as 150 - PDF place floats
