USING INDESIGN CS4

Typography

Last line right indent

1 Type your paragraphs. In the last line of each paragraph, place the insertion point before the text to be indented,

and choose Type > Insert Special Character

> Other

> Right Indent Tab.

2 Select the paragraphs.

3 To create a right indent for paragraphs, specify a value (such as 2p) in the Right Indent field of the Paragraph panel

or Control panel.

4 To offset the right indent value for the text that follows the tab, type a negative value (such as -2p) in the Last Line

Right Indent field of the Paragraph panel or Control panel.

Use Indent To Here

You can use the Indent To Here special character to indent lines in a paragraph independently of a paragraph’s left
indent value. The Indent To Here special character is different from the paragraph’s left indent in the following ways:

•

Indent To Here is part of the text flow, as if it were a visible character. If text reflows, the indent moves with

it.

•

Indent To Here affects all lines after the line where you’ve added its special characters, so you can indent just some
of the lines in a paragraph.

•

When you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters, the Indent To Here character

is visible.

Indent To Here special character

1 Using the Type tool

, click the insertion point where you would like to indent.

2 Choose Type > Insert Special Character

> Other

> Indent To Here.
