Text inset lets you specify the distance that characters are inset from the inside edge of a text box. To specify the text inset for an active text box, use the text inset controls (Item > Modify > Text tab > Text Inset area). To specify the same inset for all four sides, leave Multiple Insets unchecked and then enter a number in the All Edges field. To specify different insets for the four sides, check Multiple Insets and then enter numbers in the Top, Left, Bottom, and Right fields.
