Hanging indents and bulleted lists
You can adjust paragraph indents—including the Left Indent, Right Indent, First
Line Left Indent, and Last Line Right Indent—using controls in the Control panel,
the Paragraph panel (Type > Paragraph), and the tab ruler (Type > Tabs). In addi-
tion to specifying values, you can create hanging indents in the following ways:
Press the Shift key while dragging the indent markers on the tab ruler. The
Shift key lets you drag the indent markers independently.
Press Control+\ (Windows) or Command+\ (Mac OS) to enter an Indent To
Here character anywhere in text. This immediately hangs all the text to the
right of the character.
Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Other > Indent To Here to insert the
hanging indent character.
You can use a combination of hanging indents and bullet characters or numerals
to create bulleted or numbered lists. A quicker way to do this, however, is to use
the Bullets and Numbering feature in the Paragraph panel menu or the Bulleted
& Numbered Lists submenu of the Type menu. You can save bulleted list and
numbered list formatting as part of a paragraph style.
Adding a rule above a paragraph
You can add a rule, or line, above or below a paragraph. The advantage to using rules rather
than simply drawing a line is that rules can be applied with a paragraph style, and they
travel with the paragraph when text reflows. For example, you might use both a rule above
and rule below in a paragraph style for pull quotes. Or, you might use a rule above a sub-
head. Paragraph rules can be the width of the column or the text, as follows:
When the Width is set to Column, the paragraph rule will have the same length as
the text column—minus any paragraph indent settings. To extend a rule beyond the
paragraph indents, you can enter negative Left Indent and Right Indent values in
the Paragraph Rules dialog box.
When the Width is set to Text, the paragraph rule will have the same length as the
line of text to which it applies. For Rule Above, that is the first line of a multi-line
paragraph; for Rule Below, it's the last line of the paragraph.
Here you'll add a rule above the author bio at the end of the story.

bio.
