How can I change default indent and tab spacing
OK, the web interface can be difficult to navigate. :-) I'll just repeat my
reply in this thread: To change the indent settings: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles task pane, click the Manage Styles button. On the Set Defaults tab, make the desired changes. Click "New documents based on this template" and then click OK. If/when you are prompted to save your template, choose to do so. To change the default tabs for a document, use the Tabs dialog box. (For easy access, you may want to add the Tabs command to the Quick Access Toolbar, via Office button | Word Options, Customize category). To change the default tabs for all documents, open the normal.dotm template as a file (search for it in Windows, then right-click its icon and click the Open command). Set the desired default tab stops in the Tabs dialog box, and click OK. Save and close normal.dotm. But see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/SettingTabs.htm, which explains why you should be using custom tab stops instead of the default ones. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "LarryG" wrote in message ...

How can I change default indent and tab spacing
Hi Stephan - I got as far as the opening the manage style buttons - but don't
see where the defaut indent measurement is or where to change it. When in word and I use the indent command it looks like it's .5" and what I want to do is make it .25" per click - thank you for your patience.

How can I change default indent and tab spacing
OK, I misunderstood your question. You want to modify the default
*increment* when using the Increase Indent (or Decrease Indent) command. This can be done rather easily with the following macros (put them in normal.dotm or in an add-in): Sub IncreaseIndent() On Error Resume Next Selection.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = _ Selection.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent + 18 End Sub Sub DecreaseIndent() On Error Resume Next Selection.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = _ Selection.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent - 18 End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. Note, however, that the above macros disable the other uses of the Increase Indent and Decrease Indent commands. For example, you can no longer use them to change the numbering level in a multilevel list. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "LarryG" wrote in message ...
