How do I create indented quoted paragraphs without spaces?
I am trying to quote more than 4 lines. It should be indented 10 spaces. I
cannot get the left margins to stay lined up or get spaces from being automatically created in the text. Yikes! my research paper is due this week! |

How do I create indented quoted paragraphs without spaces?
Ok, to indent just a paragraph and not have the rest of the document to move is really very easy. There are a couple of ways to do it. 1st way: Highlight the entire paragraph you wish to indent. Click on the icon on the standard formatting toolbar and click the paragraph with the "right" arrow on it. This will move your left hand margin over. Keep clicking on it until you get that margin where you want it. If you go too far use your back arrow or use the paragraph icon with the left arrow. To move the right hand margin, keep your paragraph highlighted and move the margin arrow at the top of the document. You must be in "print layout" view to see this arrow though. 2nd way: Again, highlight the entire paragraph you wish to indent. Make sure you are in "print layout" view. Click on the arrows at the top of the document, move first the left arrow and then the right arrow. This is a little tricky on the left arrow as you have to have the double sided arrow show up when you click on it or you will either be only getting first line indent or hanging indent. You want both at once, so the double arrow must show up before you move it. Play with it a bit. It is really very easy. -- venture22000 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in |

How do I create indented quoted paragraphs without spaces?
Ctrl+M will give you a standard half-inch left indent; doing this twice will
give you the equivalent of 10 pica spaces. There is no comparable keyboard shortcut for the right indent. You can use the ruler to create left and right indents; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm Perhaps the easiest (and best) method, however, is to apply the Block Text style, which has built-in 1" left and right indents. You can modify this style as required. -- Suzanne S.
