How to Set a Specific Paragraph Rule Length in InDesign

Learn how to create a horizontal rule with a set width that also travels with its associated text.

In this Three Minutes Max video, Bart Van de Wiele shows how to set a paragraph rule that remains a set length, independent of the text or frame width. By setting up a custom stroke style, he is able to control the length and incorporate it into a paragraph style for easy updating.

Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
