option from the shortcut menu. Or double-click the tab symbol in the ruler repeatedly
until the type of tab you want appears.
Deleting a Tab Stop
You can quickly remove a tab stop using the horizontal ruler.
To delete a tab stop:
1 Click View in the toolbar and choose Show Rulers.
2 Drag the tab symbol off the horizontal ruler.
Setting Indents
You can modify the amount of space between text and the inside border of a text box,
shape, or table cell.
Setting Indents for Paragraphs
You can change indentation by dragging the indentation controls on the text ruler.
To set indents using the rulers:
1 Click View in the toolbar, and then choose Show Rulers.
2 To change the right indent, drag the right indent icon (downward blue triangle on the
right side of the horizontal ruler) to the position where you want the right edge of the
paragraph to end.
3 To change the left indent, drag the left indent icon (downward blue triangle on the left
side of the ruler) to where you want the left edge of the paragraph to begin.
To change the left margin independently from the left indent, hold down the Option
key as you drag.
4 To change the first line indent, drag the first line indent (blue rectangle) to where you
want the first line to start.
If you want the first line to remain flush with the left margin, make sure the rectangle
aligns with the left indent icon.
If you want to create a hanging indent, drag the rectangle to the left of the left indent
icon.
To use the ruler settings elsewhere in your document, choose Format > Text >
Copy Ruler and Format > Text > Paste Ruler.
