If your cursor is between two letters, only that<br>space is adjusted. If you highlight a few letters, a word, a sentence or<br>a paragraph, only the spaces between glyphs in the highlighted area are<br>adjusted. If you simply use a selected frame not in Edit Contents mode<br>you adjust the spaces between all the glyphs.<br><br>Kerning is probably most often done as an aesthetic choice, when the<br>automatic space between glyphs doesn't look quite right.
