Indentation
Indent is the space (gap) of text (a line or paragraph) from the edge/margin. The margin settings are
applied to the whole document or the text area but indentation sets the space of a paragraph from the
margin with respect to the rest of text that is below or above it. The indentation can be applied in four
sides with different options:
Before Text: This option indents text from the left margin.
After Text: This option indents text from the right margin.
First Line: This option indents the first line of a paragraph from the left margin.
Hanging: This option indents all the lines except the first line from the left margin.
To apply Indentation in the paragraph, follow these steps:
Step 1: Select the paragraph to be indented.
Step 2: Click on the Format menu on the Menu bar.
Step 3: Click the Paragraph option from the drop-down menu.
The Paragraph dialog box opens.
Step 4: Click on the Indents & Spacing tab in the Paragraph dialog box.
Step 5: Specify the value in the Before text, After text, and First line spin boxes under the Indent section.
In our case, we have specified 0.50” in the Before text and First line spin boxes.
Step 6: Click the OK button.
