To apply any kind of paragraph formatting, you don't need to select an entire paragraph—
selecting any word or character, or placing the insertion point in a paragraph will do.
To format paragraphs:
1 Select the type tool .
2 Do one of the following:
Click in a paragraph to position the insertion point.
•
Make a selection within a range of paragraphs.
•
To set paragraph formatting for future text frames, make sure that the insertion point is
•
not active and that nothing is selected.
Note: When you press Enter or Return in text, you create a new paragraph with the same
formatting as the previous paragraph. When you create a new text frame and start typing,
you create a paragraph that uses the document's default paragraph formatting.
3 Do one of the following:
If necessary, choose Type > Paragraph to display the Paragraph palette.
•
If necessary, choose Type > Tabs to display the Tabs palette.
•
4 If the options you want in the Paragraph palette do not appear, choose Show Options in
the Paragraph palette menu.
To format all text in the story, use the selection tool to select the text frame, and then
use the Paragraph palette to format the text.
5 Specify settings as explained in the following topics.
About text alignment
Text can be aligned with one or both edges (or insets) of a text frame. Text is said to be
justified when it is aligned with both edges. To align text vertically within a text frame, see
"Aligning and justifying text vertically" on page
