TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY
Aligning text vertically
There are four options for positioning lines of text vertically within text boxes:
Top: In top-aligned text boxes, lines of text are positioned in the box with the •
top of the first line positioned as specified in the First Baseline area.
Centered: In center-aligned text boxes, lines of text are centered between the •
First Baseline’s ascent and the bottom of the text box.
Bottom: In bottom-aligned text boxes, lines of text are positioned with the last •
line flush with the bottom of the box.
Justified: In justified text boxes, lines of text are positioned in the box with the •
first line positioned as specified in the First Baseline area, the last line flush with
text inset at the bottom of the box, and the remaining lines justified between.
When vertically justifying text, you can specify the maximum vertical distance
between paragraphs.
To use these options, choose a Vertical Alignment option from the Text Box tab of
the Measurements palette.
The Inter ¶ Max field (available only when Justified is selected in the Type drop-
down menu) lets you specify the amount of space that can be inserted between
vertically justified paragraphs.
The Centered, Bottom, and Justified alignment options are intended only for

rectangular text areas, and can be disrupted by obstructing items.
Specifying text inset
Text inset lets you specify the distance that characters are inset from the inside edge
of a text box. To specify the text inset for an active text box, use the Text Inset
option in the Text Box tab of the Measurement palette.
To specify the same inset for all four sides, leave Multiple Insets unchecked and
then enter a number in the All Edges field. To specify different insets for the four
sides, check Multiple Insets and then enter numbers in the Top, Left, Bottom, and
Right fields.
Specifying story direction
You can position text so that it runs left-to-right and top-to-bottom or top-to-
bottom and right-to-left. To specify a story direction, choose Style > Story
Direction, and then choose Horizontal or Vertical.
Controlling font usage
To view and replace fonts, display the Fonts pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities
menu). This pane lists all fonts used in the active project. To replace every
occurrence of a font, select the font name, click Replace, and choose a replacement
font.
If a font is listed in the Fonts tab (Utilities > Usage) as [Name of Font] preceded by

a negative number, the system you are using does not have that font installed.
