Tracking can be helpful for darkening or lightening a page (type with tight tracking darkens the page while type with loose tracking lightens a page) or for changing the spacing of selected lines of very large or very small type, such as headlines and captions. Tracking adjusts the relative space between letters and words so they are spaced more closely together at a tight track setting or farther apart at a loose track setting.
Spacing allows you to adjust the space between individual characters and words.
By adjusting the tracking first, you may have to do less kerning. Tracking is useful for adjusting the spacing in larger blocks of text, whereas kerning is helpful for fine-tuning the space between individual characters. Tracking, kerning, and spacing allow you to control the space between characters. This article is based on legacy software. (Archives) InDesign CS3: Advanced Character Formatting
