💡 Tip: InDesign uses Paragraph Styles, Indents, and Tabs to align numbers effectively.
🔢 How to Align Numbered Lists in InDesign
If your numbered list looks uneven, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Select the numbered text using the Type Tool (T).
2️⃣ Click on the Bullets and Numbering icon in the Paragraph Panel (Window Type & Tables Paragraph).
3️⃣ Hold down Alt (Windows) / Option (Mac) and click the icon to open Bullets and Numbering Options.
4️⃣ Adjust the Left Indent (moves the entire list) and First Line Indent (controls the space between numbers and text).
5️⃣ Click OK, and your numbers will now be perfectly aligned.
✅ This ensures a neat, professional-looking numbered list.
💡 Tip: Set a Tab Position to create extra space between the number and the text for a cleaner layout.
📜 How to Align Text Under Bullet Points or Numbers
If the text in a numbered or bulleted list doesn’t align properly, do the following:
1️⃣ Select the list text.
2️⃣ Open the Paragraph Panel (Window Type & Tables Paragraph).
3️⃣ Adjust Left Indent to shift the whole block.
4️⃣ Adjust First Line Indent to control spacing between the bullet/number and text.
5️⃣ (Optional) Use Tab Stops (Window Type & Tables Tabs) for precise text placement.
✅ Now, your text will perfectly align under each bullet or number.
💡 Tip: If using multi-digit numbers (10, 11, 12, etc.), set a Right-Aligned Tab Stop so all numbers align evenly.
📏 How to Align Text to Baseline Grid in InDesign
If text appears misaligned across multiple lines, use the Baseline Grid:
1️⃣ Select the text frame.
2️⃣ Open the Paragraph Panel (Window Type & Tables Paragraph).
3️⃣ Click Align to Baseline Grid.
4️⃣ If needed, adjust Baseline Grid settings in Edit Preferences Grids.
✅ This ensures all text aligns perfectly across multiple lines and columns.
💡 Tip: Use Baseline Grid alignment for magazines, books, and structured text layouts.
🔄 How to Align Text Vertically in InDesign
To center or justify text vertically within a text box:
1️⃣ Select the text frame.
2️⃣ Open Text Frame Options (Ctrl + B / Cmd + B on Mac).
3️⃣ Under Vertical Justification, choose:
Top (default).
Center (vertically centers text).
Bottom (aligns text to the bottom).
Justify (evenly distributes text vertically).
4️⃣ Click OK to apply.
✅ Your text will now be aligned vertically within the text box.
💡 Tip: Use Vertical Justification for posters, title pages, or cover designs where precise text positioning is key.
📊 Aligning Numbers in Tables (Tabular Data)
To align numbers inside tables for a clean, professional look:
1️⃣ Select the numbers in the table.
2️⃣ Open the Table Panel (Window Type & Tables Table).
3️⃣ Click the Align Right button for numerical alignment.
4️⃣ Adjust Cell Inset spacing to refine positioning.
✅ Now, numbers will be perfectly aligned in their table cells.
💡 Tip: For financial reports, invoices, or data tables, use Right Alignment for numbers and Left Alignment for text.
📤 How to Save & Export Your Aligned Text and Numbers

1️⃣ Click File Export.
2️⃣ Choose PDF (Print) for high-quality printing or JPG/PNG for digital formats.
3️⃣ Check the preview to confirm text and number alignment.
