I just want to do a basic indent. For e.g., in doing an address label, after
I type "To:", I'd like to indent and type my address, is there a keystroke to make this happen? If not, how do you achieve this? Thank you in advance for any help. |

But that doesn't line up subsequent lines after I return.

If you aren't going to set a paragraph setting or create a style for it,
then you'll just have to continue hitting the tab key. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Gina B." wrote in message ...

You can create a hanging indent (which is what you're describing) with
Ctrl+T. -- Suzanne S.

If you're looking for something like this:
To: John Smith 123 West Street Plano, TX 50399 follow Suzanne's suggestion to use Control+T to set the Hanging Indent and press Shift+Enter at the end of each line. This makes it one continuous paragraph so it's easier to adjust the amount of indentation using the lower triangular marker at the left end of the ruler bar - the keystroke applies the indent in .5" increments with each successive stroke & the next .5" mark may be too much space. After the Zip just press Enter as you normally would to go on to another flush left paragraph. If you *don't* want to continue the Hanging Indent formatting (and it's arguably better not to) on to the rest of your paragraphs, just key Shift+Control+T after pressing Enter. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Gina B." wrote in message ...
