In Response To WoodlandElf An example of this may be in a price list or menu where you want the price to sit out further to the right than the descriptive text.
New InDesign users are often tempted to add space between paragraphs by adding extra returns. This practice is not recommended as you may end up with spaces at the top of a page or column. To give paragraphs some breathing room, use the Space Before and Space After options. If you want to give the appearance of exactly one carriage return, make note of the leading amount in the Character panel and enter that amount in the Space After box—remember to indicate the value in points.
Following down to the next row are two buttons for creating a drop cap at the beginning of the paragraph. The button on the left lets you choose how many lines high the drop cap will be no need to change its size manually. The right button indicates how many initial characters in the line need to be made into the drop cap, which most often tends to be just one.
You can further stylize the look of the paragraph by turning on Shading by ticking the box on the next line. Choose a color from the menu to create a colored background behind the text. If you want a few more options and control, choose Paragraph Shading from the panel menu. In the last row there is a toggle for hyphenation and baseline grid. The Hyphenate checkbox turns hyphenation completely on or off. For further control over hyphenation settings, choose Hyphenation from the panel menu.
The last two buttons let you align your paragraph to the baseline or not. Be sure to look at the options in the panel menus for even more fine tuning. And remember, most of the options in these two panels can also be accessed via the Control panel, by toggling the Character or Paragraph Formatting Control buttons.

Use Start Paragraph in the Keep Options dialog box to force a paragraph usually a title or heading to appear at the top of a page, column, or section.

If you have license to rewrite, then subtle rewording can often create a better line break. Use a different composer. See Compose text. InDesign can highlight the paragraphs that sometimes break in violation of your settings. You may not want to use Keep Options if your document does not require your columns to share the same last baseline. Select Keep With Previous to keep the first line of the current paragraph with the last line of the previous paragraph.
This option is especially useful for making sure that a heading stays with the next few lines of the paragraph that follows it. For Start Paragraph, choose an option to force InDesign to push the paragraph to the next column, frame, or page. If Anywhere is selected, the start position is determined by the Keep Line Settings option. For other options, they will be forced to start from these positions. When you create paragraph styles for headings, use the Keep Options panel to make sure that your headings remain with the paragraph that follows them.
Optical Margin Alignment controls whether punctuation marks such as periods, commas, quotation marks, and dashes and edges of letters such as W and A hang outside the text margins, so that the type looks aligned. Paragraph borders enables you to create a border around one or more paragraph.
You can customize corner designs to highlight the paragraph with beautiful effects. To apply paragraph border to the text in a text frame, select the text frame or place the pointer on the text in the text frame. Specify a color to appear in the space between dashes, dots, or multiple lines in a patterned stroke. Select a cap style to specify the appearance of both ends of an open path: Butt cap creates squared ends that abut stop at the endpoints.
Round cap creates semicircular ends that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints. Projecting cap creates squared ends that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints. This option makes the stroke weight extend evenly in all directions around the path.
Specify the appearance of the stroke at corner points: Miter join creates pointed corners that extend beyond the endpoint. Round join creates rounded corners that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints. Bevel join creates squared corners that abut the endpoints. Corner Size And Shape:. Select a size and shape for the corners. You can select individual size and shape for each of the four corners. Top Offsets :.
Left Offsets :. Bottom Offsets :. Right Offsets :. Bottom Edge:. Specify the width of border. Selecting Column spans border across text frame, selecting Text extends border across text.
Select this option to display a border when the text in a paragraph flows across columns or from one threaded frame to another. Select this option to merge the paragraph border and shading of two consecutive paragraphs, if they have same paragraph border and shading properties. Check the Chain button to ensure that all offset values remain the same. If you change the value of one offset, all other values are updated.
The Paragraph Shading feature provides you with the capability to create a shade or color behind a paragraph. The text preserves its formatting but is no longer associated with a style. To delete all unused styles, choose Select All Unused in the Styles panel menu, and then click the Delete icon.
When you delete an unused style, you are not prompted to replace the style. When you apply a paragraph style, character styles and other previous formatting remain intact. When formatting that is not part of a style is applied to text with that style applied, it is called an override or local formatting.
In character styles, an override is displayed only if the applied attribute is part of the style. For example, if a character style only changes text color, applying a different font size to the text does not appear as an override.
You can clear character styles and formatting overrides when you apply a style. You can also clear overrides from a paragraph to which a style has been applied. You can then clear overrides, character styles, or both while applying the style. To identify all the Paragraph and Character style overrides applied in your document do the following:.
The Style Override Highlighter highlights all the paragraph and character style overrides in your document. You can associate a keyboard shortcut with Toggle Style Override Highlighter option to access it easily. For more information, see Customize menus and keyboard shortcuts. To remove paragraph and character formatting, click the Clear Overrides icon , or choose Clear Overrides from the Paragraph Styles panel. To remove character overrides, but preserve paragraph formatting overrides, hold down Ctrl Windows or Command Mac OS as you click the Clear Overrides icon.
When you clear overrides, paragraph-level overrides are removed from the entire paragraph, even if only part of the paragraph is selected. Character-level overrides are removed only from the selection. Clearing overrides does not remove character style formatting. To remove character style formatting, select the text containing the character style, and then click [None] in the Character Styles panel.
When you break the link between text and its style, the text retains its current formatting. However, future changes to that style will not be reflected in the text that was separated from the style. If no text is selected when you choose Break Link To Style, any new text you type uses the same formatting as the selected style, but no style is assigned to that text. When you create a style that adds bullets or numbering to paragraphs, these bullets and numbers may be lost if the text is copied or exported to a different application.
To avoid this problem, convert the style bullets or numbering to text. If you convert style bullets in an InCopy story linked to an InDesign layout, the change may be overridden when the content is updated in InDesign.
If you convert bullets and numbering to text in a style on which another style is based a parent style , the bullets and numbering in the child style are also converted to text. After you convert numbering to text, you may need to update numbers manually if you edit the text.
