Formatting paragraphs


    Adobe Illustrator includes a number of features especially useful for working with larger groups of type, such as type laid out within columns. These functions enable you to set the paragraph indentation and text alignment, change the amount of space between paragraphs, set tab marks, and fit type to fill a set width. You can even specify where words break in paragraphs, using the hyphenation feature.

    To apply any kind of paragraph formatting, you don't need to select an entire paragraph--selecting any word or character, or placing the insertion point in a paragraph, will do.
