    Hi I’m very new to ID, and I’ve been googling for hours but still scratching my head regarding how to do this.
    Is there a way to set up the footnotes a hanging indent style? I mean without manually insert Indent To Here for each of them. I can’t find a place to set it up in Paragraph style.
    Thanks heaps in advance!

    Change the footnote paragraph style to have a positive left indent, and also a negative first line indent.

    Hi Hiro,

    Do the following to create a hanging indent in your footnote paragraph style:

    1. In the Paragraph panel, right-click on the style name and choose Edit “styleName”.
    2. Click on Indents and Spacing, and set Left Indent to the leading value of the footnote (e.g. 9pt).
    3. Set First Line Indent to the negative value of what you used for Left Indent. So if you set Left Indent to 9pt, set First Line Indent to -9pt.
    4. Then make sure in Type > Document Footnote Options that in the Numbering and Formatting pane, the Footnote Formatting paragraph style is set to your footnote style, and leave the separator as “^t.”

    The value you use does not have to be the leading value but that’s a good starting point. You can experiment if necessary to get the look you want. Just make sure that it’s the same for both (but that First Line Indent is negative).

    OMG, I never expect so fast response! Thank you SOOOOO much to both of you!! It works like a charm!! I didn’t realise that you can set a negative value to First line indent!
