    SigDesign "Where did you get that?"
    _______

    If you are using indesign, first of all USE paragraph and character styles. If the text will depend on paragraph breaks you will need to use a "paragraph style". If we are talking about text like the page numbering or the capability of changing particular words to a particular style, then a "character style" is appropiate.

    To get that stuff from the image above do this ->
    1) Open your paragraph and characters styles palettes
    2) In the tiny arrow, choose "New paragraph Style"
    2) once the tiny window opens, choose "justification" from the list of options and bingo, you will see that to adjust the settings.
    In this window you will also create all your setting, such as font choice, leading, tracking, indents, possibly color, ligatures, etc...
    *In reality it takes a lot of time to justify text and make it nice. Could be hours of work! But do it anyway, you'll only learn once you start doing it.
