When you create paragraph styles for headings, use the Keep Options panel to make sure that your headings remain

with the paragraph that follows them.

Create hanging punctuation

The Optical Margin Alignment function is for Roman text. For more information on hanging of punctuation marks in

CJK text, see

Apply kinsoku hanging.

Punctuation marks and letters such as “W” can make the left or right edges of a column appear to be misaligned.

Optical Margin Alignment controls whether punctuation marks (such as periods, commas, quotation marks, and

dashes) and edges of letters (such as W and A) hang outside the text margins, so that the type looks aligned.

Before (left) and after (right) applying Optical Margin Alignment

1 Select a text frame, or click anywhere in the story.

2 Choose Type > Story.

3 Select Optical Margin Alignment.

4 Select a font size to set the appropriate amount of overhang for the size of type in your story. For optimal results, use

the same size as the text.

To turn off Optical Margin Alignment for an individual paragraph, choose Ignore Optical Margin from the Paragraph

panel menu or Control panel menu.
