Indent text

Indention is the amount of space between text and the boundary of a type object. Indention affects only the selected

paragraph or paragraphs, so you can easily set different indentions for different paragraphs.

You can set indents using the Tabs panel, the Control panel, or the Paragraph panel. When working with area type, you

can also control indention using tabs or by changing the inset spacing for the type object.

When working with Japanese type, you can use the mojikumi setting instead of the Paragraph panel to specify the indent

for the first line. If you specify the indent for the first line in the Paragraph panel, and specify mojikumi settings for the

first line indent, the text is placed inside the total of both indents.

Set indents using the Paragraph panel

1 Using the Type tool , click in the paragraph you want to indent.

2 Adjust the appropriate indent values in the Paragraph panel. For example, do the following:

• To indent the entire paragraph one pica, type a value (such as 1p) in the Left Indent box .

• To indent only the first line of a paragraph one pica, type a value (such as 1p) in the First Line Left Indent box

• To create a hanging indent of one pica, type a positive value (such as 1p) in the Left Indent box and type a

negative value (such as -1p) in the First Line Left Indent box.

Set an indent using the Tabs panel

1 Using the Type tool , click in the paragraph you want to indent.

2 Do one of the following to the indent markers in the Tabs panel:

• Drag the top marker to indent the first line of text. Drag the bottom marker to indent all but the first line. Ctrl-

drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the bottom marker to move both markers and indent the entire

paragraph.

• Select the top marker and type a value for X to indent the first line of text. Select the bottom marker and type a

value for X to move all but the first sentence.

Create a hanging indent

In a hanging indent, all the lines in a paragraph are indented except for the first line. Hanging indents are especially

useful when you want to add inline graphics at the beginning of the paragraph, or when you want to create a bulleted

list.
