You are correct about that kerning shortcut. What I meant was that there isn't a keyboard shortcut for modifying the letterspacing settings as they appear in the Justification dialog box, so that you could make a letterspacing change that doesn't involve adding a tracking attribute to the paragraph (or selected text). But now that I go in and test it out, the other shortcuts I mentioned don't do that either. They are all, essentially, local overrides. I imagine that's because there's no way for one keyboard shortcut to deal with the minimum / desired / maximum options. Yes, David. You are correct about that kerning shortcut.

Letterspacing is tracking (or "range kerning," as some folks still like to say). The word spacing shortcut you mention above is simply a way (a macro, if you will) to add kerning at every space character.
