How to Set a Specific Paragraph Rule Length in InDesign

3

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.

    Hi Bart, thanks for the tip. Of course, there is one restriction: the width of the text frame must not be narrower than the 80 mm line length defined here, otherwise the line will be correspondingly shorter.
    Greetings Robert
