Indent and space paragraphs
Indentation specifies the amount of space between text and the bounding box or line that contains the text. Inden-
tation affects only the selected paragraph or paragraphs, so you can easily set different indentations for paragraphs.
• To indent paragraphs, enter a value in the Paragraph panel for an indentation option:
Indent Left Margin Indents text from the left edge of the paragraph. For vertical text, this option controls the inden-
tation from the top of the paragraph.
Indent Right Margin Indents text from the right edge of the paragraph. For vertical text, this option controls the
indentation from the bottom of the paragraph.
Indent First Line Indents the first line of text in the paragraph. For horizontal text, the first line indent is relative to
the left indent; for vertical text, the first line indent is relative to the top indent. To create a first line hanging inden-
tation, enter a negative value.
• To change space above or below paragraphs, enter a value in the Paragraph panel for Space Before and Space

Specify hanging punctuation for Roman fonts
Hanging punctuation controls whether punctuation marks fall inside or outside the margins. If hanging punctuation
is turned on for Roman fonts, then periods, commas, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, apostrophes,
hyphens, em dashes, en dashes, colons, and semicolons appear outside the margins.
❖ Choose Roman Hanging Punctuation from the Paragraph panel menu. A check mark indicates that the option is
selected.
Note: When you use Roman Hanging Punctuation, any double-byte punctuation marks available in Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean fonts in the selected range will not appear outside the margins.
