Setting margins and text tabs
IMPORTANT: If you are using Title Safe Margins, set up your indents and tabs after clicking the Enforce Title Safe Margins checkbox in the button bar.
You can set margins, paragraph indentation, and text tabs by using the ruler in RollingCredits. There are four kinds of tab stops and two types of margins, each indicated by a differently shaped icon:
A right-facing triangle indicates a tab stop at which text will be left-justified.
A diamond indicates a tab stop at which text will be centered.
A left-facing triangle indicates a tab stop at which text will be right-justified.
A circle indicates a decimal tab stop at which numbers will be justified around a decimal point.
A downward-facing triangle indicates a page margin.
A horizontal rectangle indicates the indentation of the first line of a paragraph.
- IMPORTANT: Tab and Indent adjustments only affect the paragraph that contains the blinking cursor OR selected paragraphs.
- To place a tab stop, select one from the tab stop palette on the right side of the ruler and drag it into place above the ruler, or select a stop that is already in place and drag it to a new location.
- To remove a tab stop, drag it off the ruler.
- To change a margin, drag the left or right margin icon to a new location.
- To change the paragraph indentation, drag the indentation icon to a new location.
