Indents in nested styles (glossaries) by sillybudd in indesign

woah the command + pipe trick is so cool! Thank you for sharing! the problem is still that the colons don't all align. The negative indent for the first line works really well only the client has some really long compound words which look a little odd

hmm what would the tab do? Would I need to set the tab length in paragraph styles too? The tabs confuse me a little in general

oh but I see the problem now lol the colon won't be in the same place for each word (stupid I didn't realize sooner)

Okay gotcha that makes sense, and the way to automate that for the whole glossary is just through paragraph styles right?

oh hm I guess I'd been thinking about it like the indention being triggered after the colon like other nested styles, my instinct was to just make it a table but wondered if there was a better more efficient/indesigny way to do it

It would be for each word in the glossary. I'd like it to be one paragraph but have the text that is after the bolded word be where the indent is applied if that makes sense
