Indents
Left Indent
To indent a paragraph from the left margin, enter the desired indentation in the Indent text box labeled "Left" and click on OK.
Right Indent
To indent a paragraph from the right margin, enter the desired indentation in the Indent text box labeled "Right" and click on OK.
Hanging Indent
To produce a hanging indent, set both the Left and First indents. The Left indent applies to the entire paragraph and the First indent applies only to the first line.
The First indent will be a negative number to move the first line of the paragraph back towards the left margin relative to the indentation of the entire paragraph. Use the Sample window on the right side of the Paragraph formatting form to visualize the effect of the settings.
Delimiter
There must be a delimiter between the Left justified text and the hanging indent text. If a single word numbered listing or hanging indent is created, a space will serve as the delimiter. If multiple words are used, the delimiter must be a Tab character.
During the writing of the RTF file, you will receive a warning message for every line that is missing a proper delimiter. This is not fatal, however, just select OK and the RTF writer will continue.
Numbered Lists
Numbered Lists can be created with hanging indent paragraphs. Enter a Tab character after the number.
1Item one.
2.Item two.
3)Item three.
A.)Item A
Words
Numbered lists can also be created using words or phrases in place of the number character. If words are used, the rules are the same as for lists with numbers. If phrases are used, there can be spaces between words but the indent must be separated from the phrase by a Tab character.
1. TAB This is an example of the first
paragraph that is word wrapped.
TABThis is the next paragraph with
no numbers or text before
the space or tab delimiter.
2. TAB This is the next paragraph with
a delimiter.
