| Hanging punctuation is a typographic technique for visually balancing text. Since punctuation (like quotation marks) isn't very big, it is usually best to ignore when setting margins and centering text. If you select Hanging Punctuation in the Paragraph Inspector, punctuation that falls at the left or right margin will "hang" outside the margins of the text.

| If you check the Automatic Kerning box, the kerning pairs that are built into your fonts will be used automatically as those pairs occur in your text.

|
| If you check the Start Top of Column box, the paragraph will be forced to start at the top of a text column. If it is not already at the top, it will be moved to the top of the next linked text column. All text following a paragraph thus pushed "forward" will likewise be pushed forward.

| You can also insert a page break character at any point in a text flow to force following text to start in a new column.
