of a paragraph style
Use the
Indent
section of the page to set up the indentation, using
these parameters:
• Before text: controls the space in your selected unit of
measurement between the left margin of the page and the
leftmost part of the paragraph area. Entering a negative value
results in the text starting on the left of the margin. This may be
useful in situations where your left margin is quite wide, but you
want the headings to be centered in the page.
• After text: controls the space in your selected unit of
measurement between the right margin of the page and the
rightmost part of the paragraph area. Entering a negative value
results in the text extending into the right margin of the page.
