Hanging Indents

To create hanging indents easily, select your text with the Type tool (T), go to the Window menu, select Paragraph, and use this formula in the Paragraph palette: Enter a positive value in the Left Indent field, and in the First-Line Left Indent field (right below the Left Indent field), enter the same value with a minus sign in front to make it a negative value. Once you get it to work just right, create a paragraph style by choosing Type>Paragraph Style from the Window menu. In the palette that appears, choose New Paragraph Style from the flyout menu. Now you can select your style in the Paragraph Styles palette, and you don't have to go through all that formatting again.
