Formatting paragraphs and the Paragraph panel
A paragraph is any range of text with a carriage return at the end. Use the Paragraph panel to set options that apply to
entire paragraphs, such as the alignment, indentation, and leading (line spacing). For point text, each line is a separate
paragraph. For paragraph text, each paragraph can have multiple lines, depending on the dimensions of the bounding box.
If the insertion point is in a paragraph or text is selected, changes you make in the Paragraph panel affect only
paragraphs that are at least partially selected. If no text is selected, changes you make in the Paragraph panel affect the
selected text layers and the text layer's selected Source Text keyframes, if any exist. If no text is selected and no text
layers are selected, the changes you make in the Paragraph panel become the new defaults for the next text entry.
• To display the Paragraph panel, choose Window > Paragraph; or, with a type tool selected, click the panel
button
in the Tools panel.
To open the Character and Paragraph panels automatically when a type tool is active, select Auto-Open Panels in
the Tools panel.
