I am writing a document in XDP9 and want to change the styles. I read the help file and I can see how to change the font etc. But that does not exactly do what I want. 1. A paragraph indents all but the first line - I want the just first line indented. If I create a paragraph and try indenting the first line, it indents all.
2. How do I keep a header with a paragraph?
Thanks
Hi Grace, try this: 1. enable the rulers if you don't already have them on (Ctrl +L) 2. click and drag to create a text area and you will see it show on the top ruler. you can click and drag the little triangle icons on the ruler to set right and left margins and first line indents. 3. Either create a new style or update an existing one.
Thanks Frances
I think you will need to select the first paragraph and move the indention triangle on the screen/text ruler to the left to set the first paragraph to no indent.
Unclear as to how to keep a header with a paragraph? Can you clarify or show an example?
I have the paragraph indent working now. As for the other - in Word there is the option "keep with next", this prevents a header being at the bottom of one page and the paragraph on another page.
There are no "keep with" options. Only "normal" option is for what the next paragraph is to be. So with the current paragraph set to say a heading, the heading style could be made to change automatically to the body text style. But that's it for current options.
RE the post title. There are no real style sheets either. Just styles.
You could create your heading as a separate text object then right click it and select anchor to text.
I think that would screw up the document flow.
