There's something that I used to use a lot in Quark, but haven't been able to figure out how to do it in InDesign yet:

Say you have a block of text that has a mixture of leading values, or a mixture of tracking values.

If you select the whole block, the "nudge" arrows become inactive. Is there a way around this?

You can do it with the keyboard -- on PC it's alt + arrow keys (left and right for tracking, up and down for leading).

Thanks Robert, but that doesn't work (nor any other combination of control, option, command, etc. keys with arrow keys) on my Mac.

Which version of Indesign is it Nick? I'm using CS ... In the Edit menu do you have a 'Shortcut Keys' option?
