Hi there,

I'm trying to align on the same line some part of my text to the left and some part of my text to the right.

I've tried using Tabs but couldn't seem to be able to set them up properly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Between the text on the left and the text on the right insert a special character—a right indent tab.

    Choose it from Type > Insert Special Character > Other > Right Indent Tab

    At one point there was a key command in InDesign that would allow for this - I don't know if it is still used.
