= SUMMARY =

To increase the distance between the left border of a boxed paragraph and the text in a Microsoft Works for MS-DOS Word Processor document, do the following:


 * 1) Create a custom tab stop (press ALT, T, T) for the amount of space desired between the text and left border of the boxed paragraph. Insert one tab character as the first character of the paragraph.
 * 2) Create a left indent (press ALT, T, A) for the same amount of space that the tab stop was set for in step 1.
 * 3) Create a first line indent (press ALT, T, A, ALT, 1) for the negative amount of space that the tab and indent was set for in steps 1 and 2.

This procedure sets up a hanging indent, which will provide the desired amount of space between the left border and text of a boxed paragraph. Please note that the above procedure is only for the left side; there is no way to create an indent that increases the space between the right border and the right side of the text.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Note: Creating regular paragraph indents will cause the border to shrink with the indented text.
