Hi Brandan,
Awesome job you guys do supporting amazing Tap Forms! I can’t see a post or solution after many searches: how to adjust line spacing or leading in text or notes with multiples lines of text? I need to match an existing form that I’ve imported as a background and lay my fields over it to match. All is well until I tried matching multiple lines of text. The only way I see is to fin a typeface or font with inbuilt leading that matches. It’s OK but not so consistent to use a different font. Any ideas? Pleae see attached screen shot. Tap Froms is a life-saver and so much better than Bento!. Truly awesome. Geniuses created this! Cheers, Bob

Bob,
You need to change your field from a Text field to a Notes field. Making that change will not affect existing data because those are compatible field types. After that field is a Note field you can select the field and then select the menu item Layout\Text\Show Ruler to reveal editing controls. NB: this is different from the menu item Layout\Show Ruler. You’ll find a Spacing pop-up menu that will give you the control you’re looking for. Then toggle the ruler off when you’re done by reselecting the same menu item or typing the keyboard shortcut command-control-r.

Great, Brendan! Thanks!
Bob
Thanks for posting the solution Mike!
Mike,
I have a Notes field that I would like to have control over in terms of line spacing, but I cannot figure out how to get to the controls. Can you help?
Hi Robert,
Did you try the solution that Mike Schwartz posted?
You can also get to the line height control when editing a Note field on the Default Layout on macOS. There’s a popup button in the Text Format toolbar that lets you control the line height.
Thanks,
Brendan
The Default Layout on macOS option worked perfectly. Thanks.
