Letter Skew X and Letter Skew Y distort text along the horizontal and vertical axis.
Letter Skew X= –25 Letter Skew X=0 Letter Skew X=25
Letter Skew Y= –25 Letter Skew Y=0 Letter Skew Y=25
Letter Scale X and Letter Scale Y set the scale of the text along the horizontal and vertical axis.
These parameters differ from the Page Transformations parameter group’s Scale X and Scale
Y parameters, which scale the entire text layer. For example, if you set Scale X to 200, the
resulting text is stretched twice as wide as the original. If you set Letter Scale X to 200, the
resulting text is twice as wide as the original but the characters overlap since Letter Scale
affects each letter. This is useful for creating animated tracking or type on effects.
Letter Tumble, Letter Spin, and Letter Rotate rotate the text characters around their
baseline’s X, Y, and Z axis, respectively.

Leading adjusts the spacing, in pixels, between multiple lines of text. This parameter affects
the currently selected lines. Unlike the Leading parameter in the Text window, you can
animate this Leading parameter.
Baseline adjusts the vertical position of the text in relation to the baseline. Decrease this
value to move the bottom of the text below the baseline, or increase this value to raise the
character above the baseline. Unlike the Baseline parameter in the Text window, you can
animate this Baseline parameter.
