InDesign Tips

For those of you who are not sure how to give your text boxes "breathing room" or turn off/adjust hyphenation in InDesign:

Inset Spacing (Breathing Room)

If you right-click on a text box, one of the options is Text Frame Options--select that, and then within the options, change your Inset Spacing to whatever number you want. You can also do this for shapes in which you've added text (just right-click on your shape and select text frame options).

Hyphenation

In InDesign, if you set your workspace for "Typography", once you click inside your text box, you will see a hyphenation option appear on your toolbar--simply uncheck it so that your text does not automatically hyphenate.

You can also turn off hyphenation in the Paragraph tool box using the check box.

Sometimes you want to allow hyphenation, so instead of turning it off, if you select the additional options in the Paragraph tool box and then select Hyphenation (see above image), you can alter the settings to ensure your text hyphenates properly. I think these are the default settings, so don't go by my settings. :)
