Paragraph indents

Use the horizontal ruler (see Horizontal ruler) to set the amount of extra indent from the left and right margins that you require for your paragraphs.

To change the indentation of the paragraph, click on one of the indent markers and drag it to a new position. The top left marker sets the first line indent and the bottom left marker sets the indent for the rest of the lines. The right-hand marker sets the right indent. The paragraph is redrawn when you release the mouse after setting each indent.

Note: You cannot set paragraph indents outside of the overall page margin settings.
