Indents question
Hello
I have a Word 2003 document some 30 pages in length. The text makes extensive use of quotes which, when they are over 3 lines in length, are displayed in a slightly smaller font to the rest of the test and are indented. However, the indents do not appear completely uniform. How can I set up my page so that the left and right indents are exactly the same whenever I need to use these longer quotes? Many thanks Steve |

Indents question
Create a 'Quote' Style that uses the slightly smaller font with the
paragraph indented (set to say 1", both left and right) and fully justification. Make sure that under Tools | Options | Compatibility tab, that you check the 'Use Justification like WordPerfect x for windows' option. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "SteveH" wrote in message news Hello I have a Word 2003 document some 30 pages in length.

Indents question
To add to what Terry has said, there is a built-in Block Text style that
makes a good starting point. The default 1" indents are IMO much too large (even for old-fashioned typed manuscripts, the requirement was usually 0.5"); I usually change them to 0.25" for typeset material. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne
I agree - the 1" was a quick 'imperial' suggestion. I use 1 cm (0.39") which is ample and convenient if you use metric settings. Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Very many thanks to you both. I devised my own indent/style called Quote and
it works well now. Cheers Steve "Terry Farrell" wrote: Suzanne I agree - the 1" was a quick 'imperial' suggestion. I use 1 cm (0.39") which is ample and convenient if you use metric settings.
