MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2005indenting a paragraph
I want to set off a paragraph from the other text by indenting from both sides. How? > I want to set off a paragraph from the other text by indenting from > both sides. How? The best way is to apply the Block Text style (a built-in style with a 0.5" indent on each side). If you need the indents only occasionally, you can apply them directly: either drag the markers on the ruler, or open the Format > Paragraph dialog and type in the measurements.  SignatureRegards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org The built-in Block Text style has 1" indents on each side, excessive for most purposes, but it's still a good starting place. Apply the style, modify the indents, and update the style. SignatureSuzanne S.

I lose track of what I've customized -- in some installations, it's nearly everything. <g> -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org I leave Normal.dot untouched so I always have the default styles to refer to.
