indent first line in paragraphs
I have finished my text and I found out that I have to indent the first line
of every paragraph. It seems that if it is a new document and I am typing a new paragraph, I can still set the parameters of the indentation. But now that the text is finished, it's hard to do it. Do you have an idea how to do this? |

Are you using Outline Styles or is it Normal style?

indent first line in paragraphs
Select all the text and drag the First Line Indent marker on the ruler or
use Format | Paragraph to add an indent. If all the paragraphs are in Normal style (ack!), you can change the formatting of the style. -- Suzanne S.

If all the paragraphs are in Normal
style (ack!), you can change the formatting of the style. But don't forget that this affects (or can affect) many other styles that are, by default, based on the Normal style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Indeed. Which is why I advocate using Body Text style as the "normal" style;

I use it too, with Body Text First Indent as the "Style for following
paragraph." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Indeed.

indent first line in paragraphs
Same here. For most of what I do, Body Text is the following style for all
headings. If the text is single-spaced, with space between paragraphs (as in most reports), I use Body Text throughout. If it's double-spaced or single-spaced without "blank lines" (as in a book), I then use Body Text First Indent for the remaining text paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.
