Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for indenting lines.

You indent text using the Text Ruler.


 * 1) Select a word processor object.
 * 2) Choose Show Text Ruler on the Text menu.
 * 3) Drag each triangle individually, or drag on the dotted line to move them together.

You can have up to five separate indenting levels in your text. Each indent symbol controls the indenting for a different level. The top black triangle in a symbol indicates the left margin for the first line of text of the indent level it represents; the bottom triangle indicates the left margin for the rest of the text at that indent level.

To indent text to the first indent level to the right, choose Indent >> from the Text menu. The pointer moves to that level. To indent to the second level, choose Indent >> again, and so on. When the pointer is at the level you want, begin typing. To get back to the left margin, choose Indent << as many times as is necessary.

To remove the ruler, click anywhere outside word processor box.
