Tip: "Indent
to Here" in InDesign or Quark.
 Ever
find yourself wanting to create a quick hanging indent for a drop
cap or bulleted list?
The
special "Indent to Here" character in QuarkXPress or InDesign
makes it a snap. Type this character in a text block and all remaining
lines of the paragraph are indented to that point.
To
make things easier, Quark and InDesign use the same shortcut:
Macintosh:
Command + \ (backslash)
Windows: Control + \
InDesign
also lets you access this feature from the menu bar: Type > Insert
Special Character > Indent to Here.
Note:
The Indent to Here character is indicated by a dagger symbol when
the "Show Hidden Characters" feature is turned on (shown
above in our example).

Support Member Andrea Herrick. Aptly researched by CreativeTechs'
versatile office manager David Ingersoll. Our example uses dummy
text from a site featured in QuickTips

for a great freelance book designer: Jennifer Shontz at Red
Shoe Design.)
