Indent Text -  Defination

An indent is the space between your margin and your text. Don't confuse the margin and the indent. The indent feature is often used to set a first-line indent for paragraphs.

To indent one or more lines of text:

  • You can use the Paragraph dialog box or select the blue Indentation link under Paragraph on the task pane. This method allows for a great amount of precision for setting left and right indents. Indenting is measured in inches. You can change the indent in tenths of inches.

  • In the Indentation section, you can click the increment arrows to enter the amount of indentation.
OR
  • Use the Increase/Decrease Indent buttons on the Formatting toolbar.

  • Clicking the Increase/Decrease Indent buttons is the most convenient way of setting a left or right indent. Each time you click the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent button, your text is moved 0.5 inches by default.

Remember, there is a difference between indents and tabs. If you set a tab, only one line of text is indented. If you click one of the indent buttons or set an indent in the Paragraph dialog box, all of the text you type afterward will be indented.

When all lines in a paragraph are indented except the first line, a hanging indent is created. Hanging indents are not standard in documents such as business letters, but you may see examples of the hanging indent on webpages, newsletters, and often on bibliographic entries. Hanging indents are used for the MLA bibliographic format.
