Indent and outdent text

You can indent or outdent one or more paragraphs. To format a single paragraph, click anywhere in the paragraph.

Select the paragraphs you want to format.
Right-click the selected text and choose Format > Paragraph. The Paragraph dialog box appears.
Specify the amount to indent or outdent under Indentation. You can indent or outdent to either the left or right.
To create a first line or hanging indent, click under Special. You can specify an amount of space in inches for the first line or hanging indent.

Notes

You can also choose Format > Paragraph to display the Paragraph dialog box.
You can also click the $image\BM80.gif$ and $image\BM81.gif$ icons on the Format toolbar to indent or outdent text.
A first-line indent moves just the first line in the selected paragraphs by the amount you specify. A hanging indent moves all lines except the first line in the selected paragraphs by the amount you specify.
The amount you specify to indent or outdent text is added to any margins you set through the Page Body Properties dialog box.
