Setting indents
You can set the amount of space between the left and right borders of
a text object and the edges of each paragraph using the Indents tab of
the Type palette or the Text Ruler. For text wrapped around an
object, you can also use the Indents tab to set the distance between
the edge of the object and the text.
Note: The Text Ruler shows indent positions for one selected object
at a time. Therefore, you cannot use the Text Ruler to set indents for
the preset format or for multiple selected objects.

Depending on how you want the indent settings to apply, do
one of the following:
To change existing text, select the paragraphs or text
objects. To set indents for only one paragraph, place the
insertion point anywhere in the paragraph.
To set the indents before typing a new paragraph, place the
insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph.
To apply the indent settings to the preset format, deselect all
objects.
