      Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to create a para style which lets me choose indents based on distance from the spine instead of right or left? I have pull quotes in a book that I would like to have more spacing on one side than the other, but would be mirrored depending on if the quote is on the right-hand or left-hand page. I’d like to stick with one style instead of making a right-hand quote and a left-hand quote.
      I’m probably missing something obvious, but thanks for any help.

      There is an “align toward spine” and “align away from spine” feature (paragraph formatting). You can use that to your advantage by moving whole blocks, but you have to be kind of sneaky about it:

      and

      Thank you David. I am using the align toward spine feature (which is great) but it’s the indents on each side that’s giving me some trouble.
