MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2006How do I manually indent a whole paragraph in Word????
I want to turn OFF all those pesky automatic formatting things in Word. I want to type my own numbers and letters for paragraphs and be able to indent a whole paragraph MANUALLY (a la Wordperfect). Is this possible in Word? Thanks! You can create indents with the Format | Paragraph dialog or by dragging the indent markers on the ruler. You can indent a paragraph to the first tab stop with Ctrl+M or create a hanging indent with Ctrl+T. But the best solution is to apply a style. If you use the built-in List style, you will already have a hanging indent (which you can customize to suit yourself), and you can type your numbers manually, press Tab, and be at the indented left margin.
