Hi, I'm just new to Indesign, great program. But one thing is bothering me... Is there a easy way to align text after, let's say, the second word.
I know from working with Quark that you simply have to put your textcursor where you want in the text and than click "apple + '/' ". And the text will align itself vertical.

An example:
Here's my list: hsdjq fhkj dh kjhdf skjhkj hsdjfk
hjkd s sdjhkj dsfhj sdjfhjk kjsdhfkj kjshdf jdsf
sdjhj dsfhjhkj jsdhj kjsdhfjk kjsdhfj...¶
Hjklsdj jkljdsfklj kljsdfkljskldjflksdjfklsdjfkls
dskfjksdhfjksdhfjksdhf sk ksdhfjhd sfhsdj sdjh ds
jdskfh hfjsd hjksh jsdhfj sdhfj hdfj sdjkfhs!¶

But I want to have this:
Here's my list: hsdjq fhkj dh kjhdf skjhkj hsdjfk
hjkd s sdjhkj dsfhj sdjfhjk kjsdh-
hfkj kjshdf jdsf sdjhj dsfhjhkjh
jsdhj kjsdhfjk kjsdhfj...¶
Hjklsdj jkl jdsfk lj kljsdfkljskldjflksdjfklsdjfkls
dskfj ksdhfjksd hfjksdhf sk ksdhfjhd sfhsdj sdjh ds
jdskfh hfjsd hjksh jsdhfj sdhfj hdfj sdjkfhs!¶

Please tel me, I'm eager to know the right short-cut or the fast way...!
 
Thanks Marcus... I'm using the Azerty keyboard; I did try it but still the same problem. Apparently it doesn't support this.

But maybe we can keep it simple. Can you give me the name/description of the command. So I look it up in the keyboard shortcuts menu in ID? Than I can make a custom shortcut myself...problem solved.

Anyway, already big thx for spending time on my problem!
