Lay-out Endnotes

Dear Adobe community,

I have an issue with the lay-out of endnotes. I've imported them from a Word document and want to align them. As you can see in the screenshot, the text currently runs on the second line under the number. I would like the second line to align by also having a tab.

 

I hope you can help me!

Best wishes,

Heleen

Hi Heleen,

use a left indent for the whole paragraph and a negative indent value for the first line in the paragraph.

Do that in exactly this sequence. Even if the user interface suggests otherwise.

 

Look for a tutorial for "Hanging Indents" on the web. Also see:
