Text Formatting using Special Indent
In this topic, we will discuss about Text Formatting using Special Indent. In the earlier topic, we learnt how to indent the entire paragraph, either on the left or on the right side. In this topic, we will cover special types of indents, i.e., First Line Indent and Hanging Indent of a Paragraph.
Referring to the Graphic on your left, we are interested in the "Special" portion under "Indentation".
Under "Special", there are two options; First Line and Hanging. Both First Line and Hanging Indents affect the left of any paragraph.
- First Line Indent will make the first line of a paragraph start towards the right of the paragraph's left margin.
- Hanging Indent, as the name suggests, will make the first line of a paragraph start from the paragraph's left margin and the rest of the paragraph will be aligned further right of the left margin.
In both the above cases, we can decide the amount of indenting through the "By" field in "Special".
Given below are examples of paragraphs where we have used Text Formatting using Special Indent, both for First Line as well as Hanging Indent.
