Indenting and Spacing Paragraphs
Quickly indent lines of text to precise locations from the left or right margin with the ho-
rizontal ruler. Indent the first line of a paragraph (called a
first-line indent
) as topics do
to distinguish paragraphs. Indent the second and subsequent lines of a paragraph from the
left margin (called a
hanging indent
) to create a properly formatted bibliography. Indent
the entire paragraph any amount from the left and right margins (called
left indents
and
right indents
) to separate quoted passages. In addition to indenting paragraphs, you can
also set the spacing you want before or after a paragraph.
