In-Depth Information
Reset default tabs: To return to the default tab stops, choose Clear All from the
Tabs panel menu. The default tab stop positions vary depending on the docu-
ment's settings in the Units & Increments panel of the Preferences dialog box.
For example, if the Horizontal Ruler is set to Inches, default tab stops are
placed at every half-inch.
Change tab alignment: To change a tab stop's alignment, select it on the ruler,
and then click a different tab button. Or, press the Alt (Windows) or Option
(Mac OS) key while clicking the tab on the ruler to cycle through the four
alignment options.
Creating a hanging indent
In a “hanging indent,” text before the tab marker hangs to the left—as you will often see in
a bulleted or numbered list. To create a hanging indent for the information in the “If You
Go” box, you will use the Tabs panel. You can also use the Left Indent and First Line Left
Indent boxes in the Paragraph panel.
1. Using the Type tool ( ), click in the “If You Go” box, and select from the second
line (starting with “Name”) to the last line (ending with “6-8 p.m.”).
Note
If the Tabs panel has moved, click its Position Panel Above Text Frame
button (the magnet) at the right.
2. Make sure that the Tabs panel is still aligned directly above the text frame.
3. In the Tabs panel, drag the bottom indent marker on the left side of the ruler to the
right until the X value is 5p5.
Dragging the bottom marker moves both the Left Indent and First Line Indent
markers at once. Notice how all the text shifts to the right, and the Left Indent
value in the Paragraph panel changes to 5p5.
Keep the text selected. Now you'll bring just the category headings back to their
original location in the frame to create a hanging indent.
