Hey folks, it’s time for another InDesign mystery that you can solve for a chance to win an awesome prize!
Here’s the scenario:
You’re given a file with a list of items in two columns, followed by note with an asterisk. The note sits in its own paragraph, in a threaded text frame directly after the list.
The note is currently aligned to the left, but you’ve been asked to make it align to the right side of the text frame, which extends to the page margins.
You put your cursor in the note paragraph and click the button in the Control panel for right alignment.
The note paragraph moves to the right, but it’s still nowhere near the right side of the text frame.
Also, if you click the button in the Control panel for center alignment, the note text moves but it is not centered in the text frame.
All text frames on the page are single-column frames with no inset spacing.
There are no indents on any paragraphs and nothing is affected by text wrap.
Why is the text aligning in this manner?
This month’s prize is full access for 3 months to the video archives for PePCon 2016 or the CreativePro Conference (up to $495 value!).
The winner will be chosen at random from all the correct answers I receive before June 21, 2017
