Click Transform > Reshape Object to adjust individual letter spacing.

Spacing between letters is calculated automatically as a percentage of letter height. In most cases the default spacing is adequate. Sometimes, however, spacing between certain letters may appear too large or too small, depending on the shape of neighboring letters. To compensate for this visual effect, you can move one or several selected letters closer or further apart along the baseline to improve spacing.

To adjust individual letter spacing on-screen...

1Select the lettering object and click the Reshape Object icon.
