Formatting Paragraph in PageMaker



Paragraph attributes specify how your paragraphs appear on the page – alignment, position of indents and tabs and the amount of space before and after the paragraphs. In PageMaker, a paragraph is any contiguous text followed by a paragraph return. You can apply attributes to selected paragraphs or you can change the attributes of all paragraphs of a particular paragraph style.
PageMaker provides several ways to apply paragraph attributes, including the Styles palette, which lists a predefined group of character and paragraph attributes applied to selected paragraphs and the Control palette.

You can Format Paragraph by using these simple few steps:
1.Using the text tool, click and insertion point in a single paragraph or select a range of paragraphs.
2.Choose Type > Paragraph. The Paragraph Specification dialog box lets you apply formatting not available on the Control palette.




3.Select formatting options.

Formatting Paragraphs by Editing Paragraph Styles:
(a)Choose Window > Show Styles.







(b)Press Ctrl (Window) or Command (Mac OS) and click a paragraph style to edit. This opens the Style Options dialog box.
(c)Click Char, Para, Tabs or Hyph to select paragraph – level formatting options. The changes affect all paragraphs with that style.
