There is a Windows Command, Control T, which is hanging indent. That is for when you have topics or headings that you want to stand out, and say, they'd be at one inch, and your indent would be at 2.5 or whatever you set. The first line after a double space is at the margin, then the rest of the text is at whatever setting is set for the hanging indent. It would be really nice to know how to make an automatic indent for paragraphs, say for letters.
Bye for now, Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: Brian Vogel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2015 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: indentations Judith, I'm unclear as to whether you're asking how to make it such that if you hit an enter each new paragraph automatically starts with an indent or simply how to make an indent. Hitting the Tab key will give you an indent at the beginning of the paragraph and you, of course, are controlling this entirely manually. You can also set a hanging indent using the top slider on the horizontal ruler at the top of your document (which, unfortunately, I do not know how to control with JAWS) which sets an automatic indent when you hit Enter to start a new paragraph. Also, open Word Help and search on the phrase "set tab stops." There is a section in there which describes how to set a hanging indent not with the slider, but using a dialog box, but you will likely understand how to bring that dialog up in JAWS after reading what's there. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.
