Indentation question

Post by moineau »

Hi again,

I'd like my first paragraph after the title to be without an indentation, and the next ones with an indentation. Is there a possibility to do that ? Thanks in advance.

No problem with Mellel. You just have to define such a paragraph style, and select that one in the autotitle edit pane of the title-level that precedes it. Upon applying your title-style and hitting enter, the paragraph style you want (the indented one) will be automatically selected for the paragraph just below the desidered title level. You can then select the normal paragraph style for the "following paragraph" in the indented paragraph style that follows your title. In that way, you can set-up rather automatically that your title will be followed by an indented paragraph first, while the following ones will be completely regular (i.e. non-indented in your case).

I agree, it takes a bit of time to get used to tweaking everything everywhere. But the benefits...

Just as a side point, this is the same functionality as in Pages, Word, and most other word processors that have paragraph styles. They usually have "next paragraph is such-and-such a paragraph style" settings
