To indent text
Indention is theamountofspace betweentextand theboundaryofatype object.Indention affectsonlythe selected
paragraph or paragraphs, so you can easily set different indentions for different paragraphs.
1 To indent existing text, select the type object or insert the cursor in the paragraph you want to change. If you don’t
select a type object or insert the cursor in a paragraph, the indention applies to new text you create.
2 In the Paragraph palette, enter a value for an indention option.
To create a hanging indention, enter a negative value for the First-line Indent option. 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 palette to specify the
indent for the first line. If you specify the indent for the first line in the Paragraph palette, and specify mojikumi
settings for the first line indent, the text is placed inside the total of both indents.

To adjust paragraph spacing
1 Insert the cursor in the paragraph you want to change, or select a type object to change all of its paragraphs. If you
don’t insert the cursor in a paragraph or select a type object, the setting applies to new text you create.
2 In the Paragraph palette, adjust the values for Space Before( or ) and Space After ( or ).
Note: If a paragraph begins at the top of a column, no extra space is added before the paragraph. In this case, you can
increase the leading of the first line of the paragraph or change the inset spacing for the type object.
