Title: Text in Text Box Padding
Post by: Sheba2 on November 20, 2025, 09:21:24 PM
I'm VERY new at using Scribus and have been using several tutorials and have not found these answers. I have a small text box with a black line around it and text inside. (1) The text is too close to the lines--I think it's called "padding" and I'd like to add a little extra space between the text box line and the text? (2) The spacing between each line of text is a little too much and I'd like to decrease it just a bit. Thank anyone who can provide some assistance. So far, I'm enjoying the program--it seems quite powerful!

You should open the properties palettes (item and content properties) from the windows menu and you will have a ton of option to play with including the padding and line spacing.
