Underscore under first line in each paragraph?? 1

[AGCGirl]

No matter what I do to try to change this, the first line of every new paragraph I start has a funky underscore...I CAN'T GET RID OF IT! I'd kiss ANYONE who could help me solve this problem! Anyone? ANYONE?!

Hi AGCGirl,

Probably you have a paragraph rule on.

Open InDesign, don't open a document and choose your text tool.

Now the options for Charachter and Paragraph are visisble. Choose the charachter options. At the right hand side you see a little black triangle, click on it and you will find a list of options and one of them is paragraph rules.

In this menu at the top you have 'Rule Above' and probably it will be activated, just deactivate it.

Then quit InDesign and restart and you problem will be gone.

This workflow is when it happens in every document. If it only happens in one document, then you open that document and with nothing selected you do the same as above without the quitting of InDesign.

It should work

hi,

probably you have applied a certain style without your text cursor being in a portion of your text. Then InDesign thinks that you want that style to be your "No paragraph style", so in the future be sure to apply a style when your text cursor is a certain text portion.

What about that digital kiss.

And yes I am smart aren't I. No really I teach these programs all the time, so I am supposed to know. Although sometime I am also flabergasted
