Baseline Shift: Specify a value to raise or lower the font from its baseline. •
Scale Direction: Specify whether the font is scaled horizontally or vertically. •
Scale Amount: Specify the amount of horizontal or vertical scaling. •
The Sample Text area of the dialog box displays sample text that uses each of the
fonts in the font set.
You can apply a font set to text in the same way that you apply a font to text.
Simply select the text and choose a font set from the font drop-down menu in the
Measurements palette. Font sets display at the top of the list.
To append a font set to a project, use the Append button in the Font Sets dialog
box (Edit > Font Sets).
Applying multiple character attributes
You can view and edit all character attributes at one time using the Character tab of
the Measurements palette.
Blank fields and gray check boxes indicate that multiple styles are applied to
selected text. For example, if the Font field is blank, then more than one font is
applied to the selected text.
If you enter a value in a blank field, that value will be applied to all the selected
text. If you check or uncheck a gray check box, that style setting will be applied to
or removed from all selected text.
Use the Character tab of the Measurements palette to format text.
Applying paragraph attributes
Paragraph attributes are formatting options that apply to a paragraph as a whole.
They include alignment, indents, leading, and tab settings. To apply attributes to
selected paragraphs, use the Paragraph tab of the Measurements palette.
You can copy any applied paragraph formats from one paragraph to other
paragraphs in the same box or text chain. To copy applied paragraph formats, select
the paragraph or range of paragraphs that you want to change, then press
Option+/Alt+Shift while clicking anywhere in the paragraph with the formats you
want to copy. Copying paragraph formats in this way will not change any character
attributes.
Controlling alignment
You can choose from seven paragraph alignments: Left, Centered, Right, Justified,
Forced, Towards Spine and Away From Spine. The Forced option aligns all lines
between the left and right indentations, like the Justified option, but also justifies
the last line (if there is a return at the end of the paragraph).
To set the alignment of selected text, do one of the following things:
