= SUMMARY =

When using the ALT+T (or ALT+X+T with a style sheet) speed-formatting keys to format a paragraph for a hanging indent, and the ALT+N (or ALT+X+N with a style sheet) speed-formatting keys to format a paragraph for a left indent, the measurement set under the Options “default tab width:” field is used for the indentation measurement.

For example, if you specify “.5” under Options “default tab width:”, you will get a .5-inch hanging indent with the ALT+T keys and a .5-inch left indent with the ALT+N keys.

With Word Versions 4.00 and 5.00, these speed-formatting keys also recognize tab positions set with the Format Tab Set command, provided that the tab position has not already been passed. In this case, the default tab measurement is used for the indentation.

For example, if you set a tab at 1 inch with the Format Tab Set command, you will get a 1-inch hanging indent with the ALT+T keys and a 1-inch left indent with the ALT+N keys, provided that the left indent of the paragraph is still before the 1-inch position.
