Indent paragraphs

You can quickly indent selected paragraphs in a text box using the Increase Indent  button on the Formatting toolbar.

To set more specific options for indenting text, use the Paragraph dialog box:

1. Select the paragraph(s) you want to indent.
2. From the Format menu, select Paragraph.

The Paragraph dialog opens.

3. If necessary, select the Indents and Spacing tab.
4. Change the left or right indentation using the up and down arrows next to the Left and Right fields. You can enter positive or negative numbers. Negative numbers extend the text beyond the current margins.

Notice that in the Sample pane, Publisher shows you how the text will appear relative to the surrounding paragraphs.

5. To create a hanging or other special indent, select the appropriate option from the Preset drop-down menu. You can specify the indentation for a hanging indent by entering a value into the First line field.
6. Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog.
