About text flow on web pages
A paragraph of text on a blank web page or inside a container automatically wraps itself to the left and right edges of
the browser window or container. When the browser window or container is resized, the text rewraps as needed.
You can control the flow of entire blocks of text by structuring it with paragraph formats, tables, and layers. You can
also control the text flow in any particular place by inserting link breaks or enclosing the text with the nobreak
element. You can also use line breaks to create additional space before or after paragraphs or objects.

To prevent words breaking onto separate lines
1 Select one or more words that you want to always share the same line.
2 Choose Type > Style > Nobreak.
To insert a line break
You can make a line of text break after a particular word and continue to the next line by inserting a line break after
the word; the line break’s Clear option causes all text that follows the line break to appear below an adjacent image.
❖ Drag the Line Break icon from the Basic set in the objects toolbox to the document widow, or double-click the
icon to insert the line break at the insertion point.

Line Break options
The Line Break Inspector provides the following options for the Clear attribute:
All Moves the text after the line break to the bottom of any object in the line.
Left Moves the text after the line break to the bottom of a left-aligned object.
Right Moves the text after the line break to the bottom of a right-aligned object.
Note: When wrapping text around an object inside a layer, the object must be left-aligned or right-aligned for the Clear
attribute to work as expected.
To create a list
You can format text as numbered, bulleted, or definition lists, and create hierarchies within the lists.
1 Do one of the following:
• To format existing text, select the paragraphs.
• To create a list from scratch, click in the document window where you want the list to begin.
2 Choose a list format from the Type > List menu.
