Just above "SmallCaps Revisited" subhead

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'd love for this to work!)

The manual says Change to: <set kerning in Change Format>

By this, I assume they mean to not type anything in the Change to: field, but
to use the formatting palette below. However, there is no way that I know of to
apply a specific kerning value in the find/change format dialog. All you can do
is specify the kerning method (optical, metrics, or none).

If you know a way to apply a specific kerning value with the change dialog,
please tell me! It would really be useful to me
