Controlling left indents with a special character
You can use the Indent to Here special character to indent lines in a paragraph indepen-
dently of a paragraph's left indent value. The Indent to Here special character is different
from the paragraph's left indent in the following ways:
Indent to Here is part of the text flow, as if it were a visible character. If text reflows, the
•
indent moves with it.
Indent to Here affects all lines after the line where you've added its special character, so
•
you can indent just some of the lines in a paragraph.
When you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters, the Indent to Here character ( )
•
is visible.

Working with tabs
Tabs position text at specific horizontal locations in a frame. The default tab settings
depend on the unit of measurement selected in the Units & Increments preferences dialog

Tabs apply to an entire paragraph. The first tab you set deletes all default tab stops to its
left. Subsequent tabs delete all default tabs between the tabs you set.
You set tabs using the Tabs palette.
