Formatting Text and Paragraphs

To set paragraph indents using the Tabs pane of the Text Inspector:

1

Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want to change.

2

Enter a value in the Left field under Paragraph Indents.

3

Enter a value in the Right field under Paragraph Indents.

To change paragraph indents using the rulers:

1

Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Rulers (or choose View > Show Rulers).

2

To change the right indent, drag the right indent icon (downward blue triangle on the

right side of the horizontal ruler) to the position where you want the right edge of the

paragraph to end.

3

To change the left indent, drag the left indent icon (downward blue 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 indent, hold down the Option

key as you drag.

4

To change the first line indent, drag the first line indent (blue rectangle) to where you

want the first line to start.

 If you want the first line to remain flush with the left margin, make sure the

rectangle aligns with the left indent icon.

 If you want to create a hanging indent, drag the rectangle to the left of the left

indent icon.

Creating Bulleted or Numbered Lists

Bulleted and numbered lists are simple lists without nested hierarchies of information

like you would see in an outline.
