If you need the indents only occasionally, you can apply them directly: either drag the markers on the ruler, or open the Format Paragraph dialog and type in the measurements. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

The built-in Block Text style has 1" indents on each side, excessive for
most purposes, but it's still a good starting place. Apply the style, modify the indents, and update the style. -- Suzanne S.

I lose track of what I've customized -- in some installations, it's nearly everything. g -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

I leave Normal.dot untouched so I always have the default styles to refer
to. -- Suzanne S.
