Indenting Text

Indentation is often used to set quotations apart from the rest of the text. It also is used to emphasize text or to place a paragraph in a subordinate position beneath another paragraph. When you create a bulleted or numbered list, WordPerfect inserts an Indent command after the bullet or number so that the text you type isn't aligned under the bullet or number, but rather under the first word of the text. For more information on creating bulleted or numbered lists, see Chapter 11, “Creating Lists and Outlines.”

The four ways to indent text are as follows:

• Indent moves every line within a paragraph to the next tab setting (to the right). By default, this moves the text over 1/2 inch every time you choose Indent.

• Double Indent
