When adding, say an asterisk 100% outside the margins, I select a paragraph/character style and choose optical alignment, "manual" and select OK, my other paragraph styles "extend" the right margin, thus messing up the flow of text onto the next line throughout the text frame. And it doesn't matter if I create a new style and base it on "No Style". That creates the same effect. I will have see if it applies to all text frames in the document with the same paragraph style or only is applicable to the text frame I am trying to apply a hanging quotation/glyph. Currently, I only need it in one text frame. RD
