Setting Paragraph Indents

When you indent a paragraph, you move its edge in from the left or right margin. You can indent the entire left or right edge of a paragraph or just the first line. The markers on the ruler control the indentation of the current paragraph. The ruler has three markers. The top rectangle, called the paragraph indent marker, controls where the first line of the paragraph begins. The bottom triangle, called the left indent marker, controls where the remaining lines of the paragraph begin. The triangle on the right side of the ruler, called the right indent marker, controls where the right edge of the paragraph ends.
