Specifying hanging punctuation


    Hanging punctuation controls whether punctuation marks fall inside or outside the margins. If hanging punctuation is turned on for Roman fonts, then periods, commas, single-quotation marks, double-quotation marks, apostrophes, hyphens, em dashes, en dashes, colons, and semicolons appear outside the margins.

To use hanging punctuation for Roman fonts:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select a type layer if you want all the paragraphs contained in that type layer to be affected.
    • Select the paragraphs you want affected.
  2. Choose Roman Hanging Punctuation from the Paragraph palette menu. A check mark indicates that the option is selected.
  3. Note: When you use Roman Hanging Punctuation, any double-byte punctuation marks available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts in the selected range will not hang. See Using burasagari.
