I'm probably going to sound very funny, but hopefuly somebody'll understand me and help me.
I'm not good at this, I've never before worked with any of theese programs.. I'm learning. Most of the things I've figured out except this:

Example:

Enumeration
- one
- two
- three
- etc


This isn't a good example.. but let me explain: when you do this in WORD, it's automatically lining up text (and short lines) verticaly with the TAB space infront of short line.
How can I do this in Adobe indesign?

You could be referring to indenting the first line of a paragraph, or you could be referring to tabulating information (e.g. bullet points). Can you let us know which one you are trying to do?

On the paragraph palette, enter the amount you want the text to be indented after the bullet point e.g. 5mm, and in the FIRST LINE indent, enter the same amount as a negative value e.g. -5mm. The bullet can then be placed on the left edge of the text frame, do a tab, then enter your text which will start 5mm from the bullet. If any text lines go longer than the text frame is wide, then it will wrap to the indented point so that all the text aligns on the left.

k
this was the problem
problem
i think this mightbe the solutio with the option indent to here
Solution ?

Q: is this now alignet?

And it seems that there is something wrong with my font?
I'm using here Times New Roman.. Adobe InD. can't find it on my system. I tryed to install it with Font Navigator, and there's a prblem with TNR italic..
Don't know what to do.

Can this document be read by another (good wqorking) computer, without problems?

I hope..i'm not bothering you too much..

Your solution looks OK to me - is this what you wanted to get? Is there a tab between the dash and the first word?

The pink text indicates the font is not available. It is either missing or inactivated. Perhaps you could switch to another similar font? There are plenty of similar looking serif fonts that are close to TNR. e.g. Garamond, Book Antiqua, Bookman Old Style, Calisto, Dutch 801, Souvenir....

As to whether the document could be read by another computer - depends on whether they have the same (or newer) version of InDesign, and whether the computer has TNR (or whatever font you may replace it with).

Ok.
thank you. :)

The Tab wasn't really imoprtant.. I just didn't know how to explain what I wanted to do (so i used word.. and it's tab..)
I'm just doing the deisng for this book.. so the needed font is TNR.. And it's going to be printetd. I guess that the printing co. has TNR...
Thx again.

pantera4444,

make PDF or print and distill to PDF - then your printer will have no problems :)

and remember to select option to attach whole font - all glyphs - when you export to PDF or print to PostScript and EmbedAllFonts when you will distill PostScript do PDF :)

NEVER give anybody "open files" - *.INDD !!
only exported/distilled PDF or PostScript.
then you will be sure so NOBODY edit/change your files.
