Setting Indentation for Paragraphs
You use the horizontal ruler to set indentation for paragraphs.
First-line indentation
Left indentation
Right indentation
Here are ways to set indentation:
To change the right indentation, drag the right indentation symbol (downward blue
m
triangle on the right side of the horizontal ruler) to the position where you want the
right edge of the paragraph to end.
To change the left indentation, drag the left indentation symbol (downward blue
m
triangle on the left side of the ruler) to where you want the left edge of the paragraph
to begin.
To change the left margin independently from the left indentation, hold down the
m
Option key as you drag.
To change indentation of the first line, drag the first-line indentation (blue rectangle)
m
to where you want the first line of each paragraph to start. If you want the first line
to remain flush with the left margin make sure the rectangle aligns with the left
indentation symbol.
To create a hanging indentation, drag the rectangle to the left of the left
m
indentation symbol.
