Sweet Shop and Bear Tables

Creating Tabs in InDesign

  • “Type” > “Tabs”
  • Line up Tab bar with the text, add markers (can either be left, right, or center justified) where you want the lines of text to align.
  • Add a leader (dotted line) in between tabs, as if creating a menu.
  • “Object” > ” Text frame options” > add more space on right, left, and top.
  • To make the red box and lines underneath the text, go to “Paragraph Styles” > “new” > “Paragraph Rules” > “below” > then change the color and adjust the offset of the box to align with the text.
  • Do the same for the lines, except just add a weight of .5 and adjust the offset so they are completely below the text.
