Indent paragraphs

Indention specifies the amount of space between type and the bounding box or line that contains the type. Indention affects only the selected paragraph or paragraphs, so you can easily set different indentions for paragraphs.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs in that type layer to be affected.

    • Select the paragraphs you want affected.

  2. In the Paragraph palette, enter a value for an indention option:
    Indent Left Margin
    Indents from the left edge of the paragraph. For vertical type, this option controls the indention from the top of the paragraph.

    Indent Right Margin
    Indents from the right edge of the paragraph. For vertical type, this option controls the indention from the bottom of the paragraph.

    Indent First Line
    Indents the first line of type in the paragraph. For horizontal type, the first line indent is relative to the left indent; for vertical type, the first line indent is relative to the top indent. To create a first line hanging indent, enter a negative value.
