Paragraph formatting
Alignment, line spacing, and indents all live per paragraph and carry forward as you write.
Alignment
Use the ribbon's alignment buttons for left, center, right, or justify.
Spacing & indents
- Put the cursor in a paragraph (or select several).
- Choose Format ▸ Line Spacing to open the Line Spacing & Indents dialog.
- Set line spacing (1.0–2.0) and space before/after on top; set the indent style (first-line, hanging, or none) and left/right indents below.
- Click OK.
Note
Spacing and indents apply only to the paragraphs you selected and to new paragraphs after them, never retroactively.
