Question

Object style inset query

Hi all. Quick question with object styles. I am creating a price box to use in catalogues. Currently we use a box with a white outline grouped with four individual text boxes (left in pic). This means depending on the length of the item name and whether there is a saving, I am constantly altering the sizes of the the boxes. So I created a version with object styles instead (right in pic). I am happy with what I have except I can't get the bottom inset in this version, ie the item code is flush with the bottom. In fact when I altered any of the top or side insets in the object styles text frame general options as a test none of them changed. Why is that? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

We'd have to see the file to see what is going on.

No problem, here's an example document. It contains the current version on the left (not an object style, but visually accurate) then two styles depending on whether there is a saving or not as I couldn't work out how to use just one as the spacing is different in each.

Would this be OK?

It is done with an object style, including 4 paragraph styles (I did not include the character styles for the smaller numbers)
