You can right indent all text in a frame by setting right hand side padding on the frame as you describe, but I don't think you can right indent the text. Think about if you want justified text like this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut a sapien. Aliquam aliquet purus molestie dolor. Integer quis eros ut erat posuere dictum. Curabitur dignissim. . Integer orci. Fusce vulputate lacus at ipsum. Quisque . in libero nec mi laoreet volutpat. Aliquam eros pede, . scelerisque. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Ut a sapien. Aliquam aliquet purus molestie dolor. Integer quis eros ut erat posuere dictum. (the dots above are to stop dumb mail clients stripping leading whitespace). The only ways I can think of to do it are with three frames, or using text flows around frame and a frame to block out the indented area. Neither is a good solution and both suck severely if the text may be edited/reflowed later. -- Craig Ringer
