- On the Formatting toolbar, click Increase Indent
or Decrease Indent
.
Create a first-line or hanging indent
- Select the text you want to indent.
- On the Format menu, click Paragraph.
- In the Indentation options list in the Paragraph task pane, do one of the following:
- To indent only the first line of text in a paragraph, click First line.

Notes
- When filling out a form, you can use the previous procedures to indent paragraphs in certain types of rich text fields. To quickly determine whether you're in a rich text field, place your insertion point in the field. If the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent button on the Formatting toolbar appears active instead of dimmed, the field supports indented text.
