inner margin of text box


Recommended Posts

I'ld like to make a textbook that aligns to the guides, give it a border (stroke) and background (fill), and have some margins of the text to the outside. All I can do except the inner margins. So now the text is right against the border, which doesn't look that nice.

I can do something like this using paragraph decorations, but then the text is aligned to the guides and the stroke and fill will go outside.

Is there a way to make this work in such a way that the stroke and fill will align instead of the text?

Hello @FMS,

look for View > Studio > Textframe. There is a setting of 'Insets' that does what you are looking for :)

Where are these options now?

EDIT: Nevermind. It looks like they have removed the View > Studio > Textframe panel.

What I am looking for (insets) can be found in the text style as Paragraph > Spacing > Left Indent and Right Indent

EDIT AGAIN: Doh, I was using Affinity Designer. I see this post is about Affinity Publisher.
