Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change text kerning back to its default in Adobe InDesign:
- To revert text with kerning to its default setting, go to the right-side menu and click the 'Paragraph Style' icon.
- Once the panel opens, click the 'a+' icon (Style Override Highlighter) to highlight the letters in the text where kerning was applied.
- Text with kerning will be highlighted, and you will also see the kerning value being used (InDesign’s default is Metric).
- Click the inverted 'P+' icon at the bottom of the Paragraph Style panel to clear paragraph overrides, including kerning.
- The letters will return to their original spacing as the kerning resets to Metric (default).
