Margins

Specifies the left, right, top, and bottom margins. Margins are a percentage of the page width and define the extent of all text within a frame. They can be overridden by paragraph indents.

Indents

Specifies the left, hanging, and right indents. Indents define the extent of an individual paragraph within a frame and override the overall frame margins.

Note: If left and hanging indents are set to 0%, the left indent is considered off, and the left margin is used.

If right indent is set to 100%, the right indent is considered off, and the right margin is used.

If the hanging indent is 0% and the left indent is defined, all paragraph lines align with the left indent.
