Indenting text

The Corel WordPerfect for Java Indent feature allows you to indent paragraphs, double indent paragraphs, insert a hanging indent, or remove indents from your documents. Simple indents move an entire paragraph one tab stop to the right and are often used to format lists. Double indents move paragraphs one tab stop from both the left and right margins and are often used to format lengthy quotations. Hanging Indents move all but the first line of a paragraph one tab stop to the right and are often used to format bibliography entries. The Back Tab command removes simple indents from paragraphs and is often used to return text to its original format. You can access the Indent features by clicking the Menu button wpj00004.gif on the Common toolbar and choosing Paragraph from the Format menu.
