I have a layout with two columns, and I would like the header to go outside of the text frame like this:



enter image description here



However this would mean the Header text hanging outside of the text frame. I could achieve this using a separate text box for the headers, like this:



enter image description here



However, this has a couple of major drawbacks. Firstly the headers would not flow with the text, and secondly the columns would not be split correctly below the header.



What I want is to have the header set up as a paragraph style, so that it spans columns, but hangs left of the frame:



enter image description here



I could "fudge it" by setting the body text to be indented, and make the columns wider to accomodate this, but that wouldn't work either as the text in the right hand column would also be indented, so the gutter would be too wide:



enter image description here



How can I make this work?

          • Insert a hair space character before the title

          • Select this character and set its tracking to -1000

          title out



          If the hair space character does not appear anywhere in the text, you can create a paragraph style with a GREP applied to all hair space characters.



          Add after @Lucian comment, the same hair space character with 200% horizontal scale



          horizontal scale

            Awesome trick! I notice you can also add 'horizontal scale' to that space to push the title further outside the box. You may want to add this to the answer.

          • Too bad you cannot do this with a style. (The internal framework does not allow it. I guess Adobe's solution would be to indent everything else.)

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
