Use Indent To Here
You can use the Indent To Here special character to indent lines in a paragraph independently of a paragraph’s left
indent value. The Indent To Here special character is different from the paragraph’s left indent in the following ways:
• Indent To Here is part of the text flow, as if it were a visible character. If text reflows, the indent moves with it.
• Indent To Here affects all lines after the line where you’ve added its special characters, so you can indent just some
of the lines in a paragraph.
• When you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters, the Indent To Here character is visible.

About leading
This topic refers to how leading is implemented in Roman composition. For information on leading in CJK text, see
About leading in Asian text .
The vertical space between lines of type is called leading. Leading is measured from the baseline of one line of text to
the baseline of the line above it. Baseline is the invisible line on which most letters—that is, those without descenders—
sit.
The default auto-leading option sets the leading at 120% of the type size (for example, 12-point leading for 10-point
type). When auto-leading is in use, InCopy displays the leading value in parentheses in the Leading menu of the
Character panel.
