Reply To: Change orientation of gradient paragraph rules?

You need to open the Gradient panel, it gives you complete control over the angle of your gradient.

May I suggest using object styles which will allow you to control these elements once you have made them.

Ok so now the coffee has kicked in. You are referring to paragraph rules, my bad.

Very true it seems to be uncontrollable and to acheive what you want, may need a workaround.

I shall watch this space, I know I haven't been very helpful.
