OFFSET (FIELD)
Edit Paragraph Style Sheets dialog box Þ Rules tab
In the Offset field, enter the amount of vertical space between a paragraph
and a rule. You can enter an absolute value or a percentage. (The
Offset field
is not available in HTML text boxes.)
• Absolute values are measured from the baseline of the first line of a paragraph to
the bottom of a rule above, and from the baseline of the last line of a paragraph
to the top of a rule below. Positive values move the rule farther away from the
text. Negative values move the rule closer to the text. Using an absolute nega-
tive offset value for a rule above, you can overlap white text with a dark-colored
rule to create reverse type.
RANGE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM SMALLEST INCREMENT
0" to 15" or various .001
–1
⁄2 rule width
• In the
Offset field, enter a percentage to make the rule act like an auto-leaded
line of text, which prevents text from overlapping. The 100% value in the
Offset
field is defined by the total distance between paragraphs. For example, a 30%
Offset for a Rule Above adds 30% of the total inter-paragraph space below the
center of the rule. The default rule
Offset percentage is 0%.
RANGE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM SMALLEST INCREMENT
0% to 100% percent .1
