In Word you don't change the margins (which are a section property) but the
indents, which are a paragraph property. As Steve points out, the Block Text
style already has left and right indents, though you may want to change them
since 1" is (IMO) excessive.

I'm using lengthy quotes which must be separated from
the main text and indented on both sides. Since the
document is formatted, do I have to change the margins
for every paragraph or is there an easier way? Thank you.
