Apple Numbers '09 - Manual (Page 180)

Here are ways to set indentation:
To change the right indentation, drag the right indentation symbol (downward blue
m
triangle on the right side of the horizontal ruler) to the position where you want the
right edge of the paragraph to end.
To change the left indentation, drag the left indentation symbol (downward blue
m
triangle on the left side of the ruler) to where you want the left edge of the paragraph
to begin.
To change the left margin independently from the left indentation, hold down the
m
Option key as you drag.
To change indentation of the first line, drag the first-line indentation (blue rectangle)
m
to where you want the first line of each paragraph to start. If you want the first line
to remain flush with the left margin make sure the rectangle aligns with the left
indentation symbol.
To create a hanging indentation, drag the rectangle to the left of the left
m
indentation symbol.
Changing the Inset Margin of Text in Objects
You can change the amount of space between text and the inside border of a text box,
shape, or table cell. This measurement is called the inset margin. The amount of space
you specify is applied equally around the text on all sides.
To set the spacing between text and the inside border of its object:
1 If there’s no insertion point in the object, select the object. (If the insertion point is
inside the object, press Command-Return to get out of text-editing mode and select
the object.)
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, and then click Text.
3 Drag the Inset Margin slider to the right to increase the space between text and the
inside border of the object, or type a number in the Inset Margin box and press Return.
You can also click the arrows to increase and decrease space.
Specify how much space you
want around text inside a text
box, shape, or table cell.
Creating Lists
Numbers provides preformatted bullet and numbering styles for creating simple
or ordered lists. Bulleted and numbered lists are simple lists without the nested
hierarchies of information like those you might see in an ordered list (an outline).
