You can change indentations at the paragraph level. To adjust indentations across several paragraphs, select the relevant text and adjust the specific indent.

  • First line indent: This small rectangle on the ruler adjusts the beginning position of a paragraph and can be changed for each paragraph.

  • Left indent: The leftmost indent adjusts the second and subsequent lines of a paragraph; this indent is controlled by dragging the downward facing triangle along the ruler.

  • Right indent: This indent, the rightmost downward facing triangle, adjusts how far toward the right side of a page a particular paragraph extends.

Tab stops

Like indents, tab stops affect documents at the specific paragraph level. Each tab stop determines how text is aligned relative to it: a left tab stop left aligns particular text to the tab stop, a center tab stop center-aligns it, and a right tab stop right aligns that text. To add a tab stop, just click anywhere in the ruler and select a tab stop. You can move text between tab stops affecting the same line by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard.
