1st line flush and indenting 2nd line?

[katmcg]

What is the trick to leaving 1st line flush and indenting 2nd line?
Affinity Publisher has left indent, right indent & first line indent in paragraph panel as ID. I can’t do a minus first line #.

Why are you asking an Affinity question on the InDesign list?

InD’s “world” composition has more options. I think Hebrew might have a second line indent. 

Are you indenting only the second line? If so, you might have to fake it with a soft return on line 1 then fixed space(es) if the text is justified, or a tab if it’s rag right.

There might actually be a Help or Support in Affinity’s website? Or try on Google?

For all software, including all of Adobe’s, I’ve found the fastest way to get help is to Google the question. Google seems to be able to not only find anything that exists but to interpret my questions. Discovering that was a godsend. And saves a ton of time.

Dedicated lists like this with experienced subscribers are the very best but they are becoming less active. Younger people seem to prefer forums. (“Younger" meaning anyone under 60.)

I think the question isn't about Affinity, but rather just saying "affinity publisher has this feature; how do I do it in InDesign." Is that correct?

If it's just a "hanging indent" you can set a positive left indent and a negative first line indent, as mentioned here:

https://creativepro.com/how-to-hang-text-in-the-margin/

Or, as someone else mentioned, this sounds like a Hebrew feature often called "Drop Words." I wrote about that here:

The Left indent has to be a positive number before you can have a negative First Line indent. For example, Left = 0.5; First = -0.5.

For InDesign, that is. 

[David Creamer]

For Publisher, you indent the Left, then change the First Line as desired. For example, Left = 0.5; the First Line will change to match it, then you can change it to 0 (zero).

I tried googling and asking on the affinity forum. Finally I found an ID youtube tutorial, took a screenshot then posted it on the forum.
They got the idea and posted an answer.
But I don’t think they have a hanging indent. I do miss ID at times.

[Sharon Villines]

Under Text > Text Styles > Paragraph > Left Indent > .25” First Line Indent> 0

Posting here so no one gets the idea that Affinity doesn’t have a hanging indent.

No I’m having a lot of trouble doing it i Affinity Publisher.

"No I’m having a lot of trouble doing it i Affinity Publisher."

Oh! Well, in that case, I agree with others: please stop asking questions about Affinity Publisher in a group about Adobe InDesign! 

They have their own forums here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/
