This assumes Word XP (2002) or 2003. Word Vista (2007) probably has something similar.



1. Click in the paragraph.

2. Click on the Format->Styles and Formatting menu item.

3. In the bottom part of the sidebar that pops up, the style for your paragraph should have a bold box around it.

4. Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow should appear. Click it.

5. Select Modify from the list box.

6. Click the Format button and select Paragraph.

7. In the Special list box in the Indentation section, select First Line.

8. OK out of everything.



All paragraphs in the document with that style should adjust themselves.



Now, if you want to carry this one step further and fix the style on the template your document is based on (probably Normal.dot, but not necessarily), do this:



1. Click the Tools->Organizer menu item.

2. In the left-hand list box, find and click on the style you changed.

3. Click the Copy button between the two list boxes.

4. Click OK.



When you close your document, you may see a warning message asking if you want to save the changes to Normal.dot. This is an anti-virus measure, intended to alert you that something has changed in Normal.dot. In this case, you made the change, so you want to accept it.



That should do it.

That is set using the "Format" from the menu



Click on Format and then Paragraph

In the window that appears you will see an "Indentation" section

Using the "Special" area to set how you want the first line of each paragraph (indenting, hanging, etc.) and by how much.



Once set, it will repeat the format for all other paragraphs in the document.

You could type the whole document first then highlight, Ctrl A or triple click, then right button of mouse down to paragraph, put in the indent from left box 1.27 or 2.54 and then to the right of that, select the option first line only.



Otherwise the normal way is to use the tab key as you are actually entering the text.

uncertain what you propose via "upload", yet you could define a widely used-line indentation on a be conscious paragraph style this way: a million. click in a paragraph of the style you like to alter. 2. click the residing house tab on the Ribbon. 3. click the arrow interior the decrease staggering nook of the types area. 4. the style to your paragraph would desire to have a ambitious container around it. you may would desire to scroll right down to locate it. 5. Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow would desire to look. click it. 6. elect alter from the checklist container. 7. click the format button and choose Paragraph. 8. Set the particular listbox to First Line. 9. click ok. 10. in case you like this to hold forward to different documents based on the template this one is in accordance with, click the radio button for brand spanking new documents in accordance with this Template. 11. ok out of each and every little thing. All paragraphs interior the rfile with that style would desire to alter themselves. once you close up your rfile, you may as properly see a warning message asking in case you like to keep the variations to widely used.dotx. it particularly is an anti-virus degree, meant to provide you with a warning that some thing has replaced in widely used.dotx. subsequently, you made the substitute, so which you like to settle for it. wish that facilitates.
