To move text backward

1. Position your cursor in the document where you want to move text backward.

2. Press SHIFT + TAB.

Note

wpj00001.gif You can only move text backward if it is preceded by a tab or indent.

Tip

wpj00001.gif Instead of adding tabs to each line in a paragraph, you can use the Indent feature to move a complete paragraph one tab stop to the right. Use the Double Indent feature to move an entire paragraph one tab stop from both the left and right margins and the Hanging Indent feature to move all but the first line of a paragraph one tab stop to the right.
