Indentation

Indentations in paragraphs are aligned with the tabs set in the document. To move these indentations, you need to modify the tab setting. To indent the first line of a paragraph only, simply press TAB.

To indent the whole paragraph from the left margin, click on this button . Each time you press on this button, the cursor will move to the next tab. To stop the indentation of a paragraph, press ENTER and the cursor will return to the left margin.

To indent a paragraph from the left and right margins, go to the Paragraph... option in the Format menu. The following dialogue box will appear:

You can indicate the type of indentation you want for the left or right margin in the Indentation box. These indentations can be set before or after entering text, but make sure the cursor is at the beginning of the paragraph. You can also set an indentation from the right margin using the same dialogue box.
