    Hi

    Hope you’re all well.

    My question is in regard to object style. I’m doing a book with a lot of mathtype objects in it. I’ve found it best to export these as PDFs and place them inline afterwards. I need to move the object in a “tab” and to resize it to 120%.

    Is there anyway to do this with a object style? I simply can’t find any ways to enlarge it of offset it to the right. Maybe this will help to visualise what I’m trying to do: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3128070/indesign.jpg

    Maybe an object style isn’t the way to do this?

    Hey Kasper

    So far as I know object styles don’t do art percentages. What program are you using to do the equations (I’m guessing math type, but didn’t know if it was that or if you were calling equations math type)? Can you export as a PDF at 120 percent? That way you don’t have to resize in InDesign. I don’t think you can do that directly, but may need PitStop if you have it.

    So far as the indent/moving the object with a tab: Why use a tab? I would create a style sheet called “equations” or something like that and use that when anchoring your equations. I just did a book with a ton of equations, and they all centered on the text column. I had a paragraph style just for that, which I anchored to. And it included the space above/below.
