Alvaro64 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Kia ora, can anyone provide an example of "last line outdent", with the information provided in the manual I wasn't able to figure out what it means. I have tried different paragraphs and then changing the setting to see how the paragraph changes to no avail. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I’ve never used that functionality, because I’ve never understood what it does either, so I would also be interested in knowing what it can be used for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 If you bring in your indent manually using the text ruler, you can use this setting to override the last line. Lee PaulEC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Thanks for the example but I can’t see why I (or anyone else) would want to do that. Can you give an example of it in actual use, just so I can see it 'in real life'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvaro64 Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 I managed to use this option. See also my attachment (.afpub) outdent.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The only thing I can think of is the writer's name on the last line of the last paragraph of a story. You could set up Paragraph styles for the story named First Paragraph, Story text and Last Paragraph. You will have a line return and then the author's name in the last paragraph. Use appropriately. I cannot think of any use of this in flowing text that makes up a regular publication. It seems to be one of those things that is included tor no other reason than "We can do this and someone might want to use it".

It would seem so, but I guess there is nothing wrong with that.

thomaso Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I can imagine to use the Last Line Outdent when the last line ends with a differing text / information. This could be a page number (e.g. contents), a date or time (e.g. program, schedule), a value for volume or weight (e.g. recipe), a price (menu), a list of companies | floors, etc. Below with justified left versus left aligned. The Last Line Outdent is set to 0 but actually defined by the tab which is used in the last line to achieve the auto leader dots.

GarryP Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Thanks for the examples. I can’t see me needing to use this functionality, but (as mentioned by Old Bruce) I guess it’s there if I ever need it. Hopefully the OP has enough information too now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
