Also, you can use type sizes other than those listed in the menu (by
clicking on "Other" and typing it in.)  You can also use fractional
point sizes this way.

Rather than vary the leading (which is *very* noticable and
ugly-looking), sometimes a slight fudge on the "space before new
paragraph" can be used to make a story fit, without being noticed.

A change in type size or leading, even if consistent throughout a
*story*, may still need to be judged in the context of the entire
publication (collection of stories).  Might often be better to just
leave the column short, or fill it with a dingbat.
