Controlling indentation
To specify indents for selected paragraphs, use the Style > Alignment submenu, the
Paragraph Attributes dialog box (Style > Formats), or the Paragraph Attributes tab of
the Measurements palette.

value in the Left Indent field.
• To specify how far the first line of a paragraph is indented from the Left Indent value,
enter a value in the First Line field. Note that First Line indentation is relative to the Left
Indent applied to a paragraph. For example, if you specify a Left Indent of .5", and a First
Line indentation of .5", the first line will begin 1" from the left edge of the text box.
• To specify how far a paragraph is indented from the right edge of a box or column, enter
a value in the Right Indent field. Click OK.
• To create a hanging indentation, specify a positive Left Indent and a negative First Line
indentation or drag the indentation icons on the column ruler. Use the Apply button in
the Formats tab of the Paragraph Attributes dialog box (Style > Formats) to experiment

character that forces the indenting of all lines of text from that point to the next paragraph
return. Press Command+\ (Mac OS) or Ctrl+\ (Windows) to enter a special Indent Here
