Microsoft Office Question:
How do I indent a paragraph in MS Office?
Answer:
1. Choose Paragraph from the Format menu.
2. Set Left and Right under Indentation.
Another way is to use the Ruler. If the Ruler is not visible, select View from the menu, then select Ruler. On the left edge of the ruler, you will see three symbols that look like an hourglass sitting on a box. Moving these symbols anywhere on the ruler affects the current paragraph or selection as follows:
* Moving the top triangle indents the first line of the paragraph (or the first line in every paragraph you have selected).
* Moving the bottom triangle indents all lines in the current paragraph (or all lines in all paragraphs you have selected) except the first line.
* Moving the square moves the "hourglass" and sets a normal indent (all lines in the current paragraph or selection will be left aligned).
