The Edit Hanging Character Class dialog box
Enter characters in the Characters pane. Then choose a percentage from the
Hang drop-down menu. The hang percentage specifies what percentage of the
glyph width should always hang over the margin or what percentage of the
glyph width should always indent. For example, if you choose –50%, the
characters in the character class indent inside of the margin by half of their
glyph width. If you choose 100%, the characters in the character class hang
outside of the margin by their full glyph width.
Next, choose whether the character class is Leading or Trailing. Characters in a
Leading class hang over the beginning margin. Characters in a Trailing class
hang over the end margin.
After you have saved a hanging character class in a hanging character set,
you can check Preview to view changes to the hanging character class as
you edit.
Creating hanging character sets
Use the Edit Hanging Character Set dialog box (Edit > Hanging Characters > New
> Set) to specify the hanging character classes to be included in a hanging
character set.
