Paragraph indent marker increments
Word 2003 - When I use the paragraph markers in the Ruler (eg, to indent),
they increment by "weird" amounts (eg, 0.08 inch, then to 0.15 inch, apparently in increments of 0.075 inch). I think I remember that they once would increment by multiples of 0.125 inch, so if I wanted a 1/4" indent, I would move the marker to the second vertical-line increment. Instead of getting 0.25 inch, I get 0.23 inch (0.225 inch?). I then have to go to Format/Paragraph and change it manually to 0.025 inch. I do a lot a writing, so this can get ugly. Other values present similar problems. So either I remember wrong or something must have changed somewhere in Word. I've searched in PC and online Help for how to adjust this increment setting, but find no answer. Does anyone know how? Thanx. |

Paragraph indent marker increments
The tab increments on the ruler are determined by the grid spacing.
Display the Drawing toolbar. Click the Draw button at the left end and choose Grid from the menu. Set the horizontal spacing to 0.125" and click OK. If you display the Grid dialog again, it will round the setting to 0.13". It would be better to modify the paragraphs' style -- or make a new style -- that includes an exact 0.25" indent. For speed, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the style. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
