For a video tutorial on formatting paragraphs, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4276_id.
You can control the amount of space between paragraphs. If a paragraph begins at the top of a column or frame, InCopy does not honor the Space Before value. In such a case, you can increase the leading of the first line of the paragraph or increase the top inset of the text frame in InDesign.

, and 
.Opomba:
- The value for Space Between Paragraphs Having Same Style will be used only if two consecutive paragraphs have same paragraph style. If the paragraph style is different then the existing value for Space Before and Space After will be used.
- To ensure formatting consistency, change paragraph spacing in the paragraph styles you define.
You can add drop caps to one or more paragraphs at a time. The drop cap’s baseline sits one or more lines below the baseline of the first line of a paragraph.
The size of drop cap text differs depending on whether the drop cap characters in the first line are half-width roman or full-width CJK. When the drop cap characters in the first line are half-width roman, the cap height of the drop cap matches the cap height of the first line of text in the paragraph, and the Roman baseline of the drop cap matches the baseline of the last drop cap line in the paragraph. The embox top of the drop cap matches the embox top of the first line of the paragraph, and the embox bottom of the drop cap matches the embox bottom of the last drop cap line in the paragraph.
You can also create a character style that can be applied to the drop‑cap characters. For example, you can create a tall cap (also called a raised cap) by specifying a 1‑line, 1‑character drop cap and applying a character style that increases the size of the first letter.
-
To apply a character style to the drop cap character, choose Drop Caps And Nested Styles from the Paragraph panel menu, and then choose the character style you created.
Opomba:
You can also use the Drop Caps And Nested Styles dialog box to align the drop cap to the text edge, reducing the amount of space on the left side of the drop cap, and adjust for drop cap letters with descenders, such as “g” and “y.” If you want to resize, skew, or change the typeface of the drop cap letter for added effect, select the letter or letters and make the formatting changes.
Opomba:
You can also use the Drop Caps And Nested Styles dialog box to adjust the drop cap in different way. You can align the drop cap to the text edge, scale for descenders, ignore the frame grid, pad to the frame grid, and scale up or down to the grid.

the number of drop cap characters you want.Rules are paragraph attributes that move and are resized along with the paragraph on the page. If you’re using a rule with headings in your document, you may want to make the rule part of a paragraph style definition. The width of the rule is determined by the column width.
The offset for a rule above a paragraph is measured from the baseline of the top line of text to the bottom of the rule. The offset for a rule below a paragraph is measured from the baseline of the last line of text to the top of the rule.

Creative Curio provides an article about creative uses of paragraph rules at Creative Uses for Paragraph Rules in InDesign, Pt 1.
-
Choose a color. The available colors are those listed in the Swatches panel. Select the Text Color option to make the rule the same color as the first character in the paragraph for Rule Above and the last character for Rule Below.
Choose a tint or specify a tint value. The tint is based on the color you specified. Note that you can’t create tints of the built-in colors None, Paper, Registration, or Text Color.
If you specified any line type other than solid, choose a gap color or gap tint to change the appearance of the area between dashes, dots, or lines.
-
To make sure that the rule above text is drawn within the text frame, select Keep In Frame. If this option isn’t selected, the rule can appear outside the text frame.
Opomba:
To make sure the paragraph rule at the top of one column aligns with the text at the top of the adjacent column, select Keep In Frame.
You can eliminate orphans and widows, words or single lines of text that become separated from the other lines in a paragraph. Orphans fall at the bottom of a column or page, and widows fall at the top of a column or page. Another typographic problem to avoid is a heading that stands alone on a page with the following paragraph on the next page. You have several options for fixing widows, orphans, short exit lines, and other paragraph break problems:
Discretionary hyphens
A discretionary hyphen (Type > Insert Special Character > Hyphens And Dashes > Discretionary Hyphen) appears only if the word breaks. This option prevents the common typographic problem of hyphenated words, such as “care-giver,” appearing in the middle of a line after text reflows. Similarly, you can also add a discretionary line break character.
No Break
Choose No Break from the Character panel menu to prevent selected text from breaking across a line.
Nonbreaking spaces
Insert a nonbreaking space (Type > Insert White Space > [nonbreaking space]) between words you want to keep together.
Keep Options
Choose Keep Options from the Paragraph panel menu to specify how many lines in the following paragraph remain with the current paragraph.
Start Paragraph
Use Start Paragraph in the Keep Options dialog box to force a paragraph (usually a title or heading) to appear at the top of a page, column, or section. This option works especially well as part of a heading paragraph style.
Hyphenation Settings
Choose Hyphenation from the Paragraph panel menu to change hyphenation settings.
Edit text
Editing text may not be an option depending on the kind of document you work with. If you have license to rewrite, then subtle rewording can often create a better line break.
Use a different composer
In general, use Adobe Paragraph Composer to let InDesign compose paragraphs automatically. If a paragraph isn’t composed the way you’d like, choose Adobe Single-line Composer from the Paragraph panel menu or Control panel menu and adjust selected lines individually. See Compose text.
In general, use Adobe Japanese Paragraph Composer or Adobe Paragraph Composer to let InDesign compose paragraphs automatically. If a paragraph isn’t composed the way you’d like, choose Adobe Japanese Single-line Composer or Adobe Single-line Composer from the Paragraph panel menu or Control panel menu and adjust selected lines individually.
You can specify how many lines of the following paragraph remain with the current paragraph as it moves between frames—a convenient way to ensure that headings don’t become isolated from the body text they introduce. InDesign can highlight the paragraphs that sometimes break in violation of your settings.
You may not want to use Keep Options if your document does not require your columns to share the same last baseline.
Opomba:
To highlight paragraphs that violate Keep Options, choose Edit > Preferences > Composition (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Composition (Mac OS), select Keep Violations, and click OK.
-
Select Keep With Previous to keep the first line of the current paragraph with the last line of the previous paragraph.
For Keep With Next _ Lines, specify the number of lines (up to five) of the subsequent paragraph that the last line of the current paragraph stays with. This option is especially useful for making sure that a heading stays with the next few lines of the paragraph that follows it.
Select the Keep Lines Together option and select All Lines In Paragraph to prevent the paragraph from breaking.
Select the Keep Lines Together option, select At Start/End Of Paragraph, and specify the number of lines that must appear at the beginning or ending of the paragraph to prevent orphans and widows.
For Start Paragraph, choose an option to force InDesign to push the paragraph to the next column, frame, or page. If Anywhere is selected, the start position is determined by the Keep Line Settings option. For other options, they will be forced to start from these positions.
Opomba:
When you create paragraph styles for headings, use the Keep Options panel to make sure that your headings remain with the paragraph that follows them.
The Optical Margin Alignment function is for Roman text. For more information on hanging of punctuation marks in CJK text, see Apply kinsoku hanging.
Punctuation marks and letters such as “W” can make the left or right edges of a column appear to be misaligned. Optical Margin Alignment controls whether punctuation marks (such as periods, commas, quotation marks, and dashes) and edges of letters (such as W and A) hang outside the text margins, so that the type looks aligned.
Opomba:
To turn off Optical Margin Alignment for an individual paragraph, choose Ignore Optical Margin from the Paragraph panel menu or Control panel menu.
Paragraph borders enables you to create a border around one or more paragraph. You can customize corner designs to highlight the paragraph with beautiful effects.
-
Gap Color:
Specify a color to appear in the space between dashes, dots, or multiple lines in a patterned stroke.
Cap:
Select a cap style to specify the appearance of both ends of an open path:
Butt cap creates squared ends that abut (stop at) the endpoints.
Round cap creates semicircular ends that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints.
Projecting cap creates squared ends that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints. This option makes the stroke weight extend evenly in all directions around the path.Join:
Specify the appearance of the stroke at corner points:
Miter join creates pointed corners that extend beyond the endpoint.
Round join creates rounded corners that extend half the stroke width beyond the endpoints.
Bevel join creates squared corners that abut the endpoints.Corner Size And Shape:
Select a size and shape for the corners. You can select individual size and shape for each of the four corners.
Width:
Specify the width of border. Selecting Column spans border across text frame, selecting Text extends border across text.
The Paragraph Shading feature provides you with the capability to create a shade (or color) behind a paragraph.
When you shade a paragraph in a document, InCopy ensures that the shade expands and collapses as your increase or reduce the contents in the paragraph. Also, the shade moves along with the paragraph.
