Using the Horizontal ruler<br />

When the horizontal ruler is enabled (View > Horizontal Ruler checked), it<br />

provides a convenient alternative for changing indents.<br />

Indents are shown in the ruler as follows:<br />

To change the indents, first select the paragraph(s) you want to modify; then click<br />

with the mouse on one of the triangles in the ruler (see illustration above), hold the<br />

mouse button down and drag it to the desired position.<br />

When changing the Left indent, be careful to catch hold of the correct triangle: the<br />

lower triangle is the one that will affect this indent. Likewise, the upper triangle is<br />

only for the First line indent. The rectangular slider under both triangles changes<br />

both the Left and First indents together.<br />

Using the keyboard<br />

Indents can also be changed using the following keyboard shortcuts:<br />

Increase Left indent:<br />

Decrease Left indent:<br />

Increase hanging indent*:<br />

Decrease hanging indent*:<br />

(Ctrl)(M)<br />

(Ctrl)(Shiftª)(M)<br />

(Ctrl)(T)<br />

(Ctrl)(Shiftª)(T)<br />

* Increases the Left indent while at the same times decreasing the First line indent. As a result, the first<br />

line of the paragraph keeps its position and only the other lines are indented.<br />

Line spacing<br />

Line spacing is the distance between the lines of a paragraph.<br />
