Paragraph Formatting
                 Paragraph  formatting helps to change  and modify the appearance  of the paragraph.  It helps to set the
                 parameters like paragraph indentation, text alignment, line spacing, etc.

                 Indenting Paragraphs

                 Indent is the space (gap) of text (a line or paragraph) from the edge/margin of the page. 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 the text that is below or above it. The different types of indentations are:

                 Ð ÐBefore Text/Left Indent: This option indents the text from the left margin.

                 Ð ÐAfter Text/Right Indent: This option indents the text from the right margin.
                 Ð ÐFirst Line Indent: This option indents the first line of a paragraph from the left margin.
                 The steps to apply indentation in the paragraph are as follows:

                 Step 1:  Select the paragraph to be indented.
                 Step 2:  Click on the Format menu from                    2
                         the Menu bar.

                 Step 3:  Select the  Paragraph option
                         from the drop-down menu.

                         The Paragraph dialog box opens.                                                               3
                 Step 4:  Click on the Indents & Spacing
                         tab of the Paragraph dialog box.    1

                 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 .50” in the Before text and First line spin boxes.
                 Step 6:  Click on the OK button.

                        The indentation of the paragraph will change.
