How to Adjust Word Spacing in Blender Text

Adjusting word spacing in Blender allows you to control the horizontal distance between individual words in a text object, enhancing your 3D typography and layout design. This guide provides a direct, step-by-step walk-through to locate the word spacing setting within Blender's Object Data Properties panel and customize it for your project.

Steps to Change Word Spacing in Blender

1. Select the Text Object
   Click on your text object in the 3D Viewport to make it active. If you haven't created one yet, press Shift + A > Text.

2. Open Object Data Properties
   In the Properties editor (usually on the right side of the screen), click the Object Data Properties tab. It is represented by a green icon shaped like the letter "a".

3. Expand the Paragraph Section
   Scroll down the Object Data Properties panel until you see the Paragraph section, then click to expand it.

4. Locate the Spacing Settings
   Under the Paragraph section, find the Spacing category. You will see several controls for text layout:

   • Character Spacing: Adjusts the gap between individual letters (kerning).
   • Word Spacing: Adjusts the gap between words.
   • Line Spacing: Adjusts the distance between vertical lines of text.

5. Adjust the Word Spacing Value
   Click and drag on the Word field, or click it to type a specific value:

   • Default Value: 1.000
   • Increase Value (> 1.000): Pushes words further apart.
   • Decrease Value (< 1.000): Brings words closer together.
