When your paragraph does not have bullets or numbering,

you can set paragraph indentations by paragraph properties. When you use numbering or bullets in the paragraph, the paragraph indentation

is affected by both paragraph properties and numbering properties.

  1. Select the paragraphs that you want to set indentation.
  2. Click Format > Paragraph .
  3. Click the Indents & Spacing tab.
  4. Specify the indent settings in the Before text, After text, and First line fields and then click OK.
