Change letter spacing in InDesign with Tracking and Kerning
Kerning controls the spacing between individual pairs of characters while tracking controls the spacing between groups of characters. These properties can be adjusted in multiple places within InDesign. Tracking and Kerning can be controlled via keyboard shortcuts which also work in many other Adobe programs including Photoshop and Illustrator.
