To align objects from their outlines, click the Outline button .
If you select the text objects one at a time, the last object selected is the reference point for aligning the other objects. If you marquee
select the objects before you align them, the object that is positioned in the upper-left corner of the selection is used.
Adding tabs and indents
You can modify existing tab stops by changing their alignment. You can also add trailing leader characters, so that dots, or other characters,
automatically precede the tab stops. In addition, you can add new tab stops and remove existing tab stops.
Indenting changes the space between a text frame and the text that it contains. You can add and remove indents without deleting or
retyping text. You can indent an entire paragraph, the first line of a paragraph, or all lines of a paragraph except the first line (a hanging
indent). You can also indent from the right side of the text frame.
