Use a negative left margin to create a hanging paragraph or image.
Aligning objects
In Print sections, objects with an 'absolute position', such as a Positioned Box, have a fixed
position in relation to the page (see also: "Using the CSS position property" on the facing
page).
Objects with an absolute position can be aligned easily:
1.
Press the Ctrl key and hold it down while clicking on the objects that you want to align.
The last selected object is the reference object; this object will not be moved.
2.
On the menu, select Format > Align Objects, or use the respective Toolbar buttons to
align the objects.
Guides
Guides are horizontal and vertical lines used to help in designing templates, for example when
positioning absolute positions boxes over a PDF background. They can only be used in Print
sections.
l
Select View > Guides > Show guides to show or hide the guides and margins.
To add a guide, press the Insert Horizontal Guide or Insert Vertical Guide buttons on the
Toolbar.
To move a guide, click and drag it to a new location.
Click the Shift key while dragging to make the guide snap to the closest ruler tick.
Double-clicking a guide brings up its Edit dialog where its exact position can be adjusted.
l
Select View > Guides > Lock guides to lock the guides in their current position.
l
Select View > Guides > Snap to guides to make Positioned Boxes (and any other
objects that have their position set to absolute) snap to guides when moved within a few
pixels of them.
To delete a guide, double-click on it and press the Delete button.
