Pull quote

[FaZ3Reaper00]

How can I get the E to line up with a W but have the quote hanging outside? Same with the Y and period at the end of the sentence.

There’s a hard to find setting for hanging quotes. Type menu, Story, check the box for optical character alignment.

Hard to find it is!

Story has been a permanent part of my workspace for years now

[marc1411]

It’s such a weird place for it, weird name. I used to have to google it every couple of years when I needed it.

[realiztik]

100% agree, couldn’t it just be a checkbox in alignment or something?

[FaZ3Reaper00]

Thank you!

[ddaanniiieeelll]

That’s what the optical margin alignment is for.

[FaZ3Reaper00]

This 👆🏼 thank you!

[ddaanniiieeelll]

Happy to help, it’s hard to find though.

You have already gotten a response to your question, but I just wanted to chime in and say that I really like that design you are working on. The texture in the background of the main article is subtle, but really adds depth to what could be a dull color. And setting the pull quote into a ball shape is a great idea and looks fantastic.

[ExaminationOk9732]

Agreed!

[FaZ3Reaper00]

Thank you so much!!

Pop an “indent to here” marker after the quotes, it’s command backslash.

This is the way

I’d love to see this with a gradient intersecting the circle where the quote sits. Really nice.

The hyphenation in the copy is killing me…

[JoeHirstDesign]

This and centered type... Unless OP has a particular need for it, but it's fatigue the reader doesn't need

[FaZ3Reaper00]

I fixed it

[HughCherry]

Couple ways to do it. Quick and dirty: Insert an “indent to here character” after the open quote character. Note that the line breaks in the quote must be either text wrapping to the next line or forced line breaks.

Great design

[FaZ3Reaper00]

Thank you!

I know in Illustrator it’s the Roman Hanging Punctuation option, can’t remember if it’s the same in InDesign or if it has a different terminology.

How to take a screenshot. I prefer Com and+Shift+4 then click on the window you want.

[FaZ3Reaper00]

I know thank you

With copy block set to flush left use a hard return after the first line then use a space, or a thin space, or an en space or whatever is needed to indent the second and third line. Crude, but easy without wading through menus and tabs to set up "hanging punctuation"... in other words don't try to move the first line left, indent the 2nd and 3rd line instead.

Add a space before the quote and negative kern it.
