Set indentation & tabs


  To set indentation and tabs, choose Format Text  Tabs & Indents and adjust the markers.
  To realign text in a paragraph, choose Left, Center, Right, or Justify from the Format Text  Alignment menu.


Tab Panel ruler markers:
- body indents (left and right)
- first-line indent
- left tab
- center tab
- right tab
- decimal tab
- default tab
- left tab with a dot leader


Adjust markers by dragging them along the scale of the ruler. The markers adjust the paragraph that contains the insertion point or the current selection.
You cannot move default tabs on the ruler.
Markers will snap to the ruler tick marks if you hold down the Shift key while dragging.
The first-line indentation marker indents the first line of a paragraph. The body indentation marker adjusts the rest of the lines of the paragraph.
Indents are set relative to the boundaries of the text column, so adjusting the column width will move the indents so that they have the same relative position.
You can also use the keyboard to move the indents (see ).
