Indenting paragraphs

• It is easy to indent a paragraph.  You would normally indent a paragraph from the left by a specified amount, but you can also indent from the right.  You may wish to format your text using hanging indents, as illustrated below.
  
  
  

• Click within a paragraph that is aligned to the left. Experiment with using the Increase Indent and the Decrease Indent icons displayed within the Home tab.
  
  
  
  TIP: Each time you click on the Increase Indent icon, the paragraph is indented further to the right. 
  

• Click within another paragraph that is aligned to the left.  Click on the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.
  
  
  
  This will display the Paragraph dialog box.
  
  
  
  You can use the dialog box to set exact left or right indents.  Experiment with setting both left and right indents for this paragraph. 

• Use the Undo icon to reverse these left and right indents.  Click on the down arrow next to the Special section of the dialog box. Select First Line.
  
  
  
  Your paragraph will now look something like this.  The first line is indented, while the rest of the paragraph is not indented.
