Automatic, fixed and grid leading are measured in the text measurement system unless specified otherwise, while relative leading is a percentage of the type size.

A local leading grid is one that can be set for a block of text to align it to a grid offset from the ruler origin. A global leading grid is set for the document as a whole and works in a similar manner.

Examples:

setparagraphleading before globalgrid styletag ¨
'Body Text'

setparagraphleading after relative 120 'project.doc'

setparagraphleading before fixed '14pt' after ¨
