Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a line below the subheading and a colored background on the tips paragraph, both attached to the text and moving with the text flow. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Lines drawn with the line tool do not move when the text expands. Paragraph rules and paragraph shading are part of the paragraph, so they always stay attached to the text. Open the article file.

Step 1: Paragraph Rules

Click on the first subheading with the type tool. Open the paragraph panel menu and select paragraph rules, or press Alt Ctrl J.

Step 2: Rule Below

Select rule below from the list and check rule on. Set weight to 2 point, color orange, and offset to 2 mm. Check preview, the orange line appears below the subheading. The width column option makes the line as wide as the column, whereas text makes the line as long as the subheading text only.

Step 3: Width Text or Column

Select text for a lighter appearance, then click OK.

Step 4: Follow the Flow

Add one paragraph above the subheading. The subheading moves down and the line follows, because the line is part of the paragraph. This is the advantage of paragraph rules compared to regular lines.

Step 5: Paragraph Shading

Click on the tips paragraph at the end of the article. Open the paragraph panel and check shading, then select the cream color. Paragraphs have a colored background that automatically adjusts to the text height. Set the shading offset to 3 mm on all sides through the paragraph shading options, so the text does not stick to the edge of the background.

Step 6: Offset Shading

The tips box now looks like a neat inset.

Done!

Done. We have created a rule below with color and offset, selected text width or column width, viewed the line flowing with the text, and added paragraph shading to the tips box. In the next module, we will save all these formats into a paragraph style. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
