This helps to offset information from the foregoing and following text so it stands out better. This type of paragraph formatting is often applied to quotations and other &#8220;verbatim&#8221; information included in a document.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Word does not include a quick shortcut to create a double indent. You can press Ctrl+M, but that indents only the left side of a paragraph. You are still stuck using the Paragraph dialog box or the Ruler to indent the right side.<\/p>\n<p>One way around this is to create a style in Word that has the necessary indents on both the left and right side. The style can then be assigned to a keyboard shortcut so you can apply it easily. This approach can be very powerful, especially if you think you may need to change the margins on double-indented paragraphs at a later time.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/wordribbon.tips.net\/T010733_Double_Indenting.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued Here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Word.Tips.Net<\/p>\n<p><b>Subscribe to the Free WordTips Newsletter with the links below<\/b><\/p>\n<p><font SIZE=\"2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/word.tips.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">(for those using menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wordribbon.tips.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">(for those using the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20111229wordtips.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"wordtips\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"attachment wp-att-7652 alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How to indent paragraphs from both the left and right margins &#8211; in Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[812],"tags":[4058,572,811],"class_list":["post-31170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wordtips","tag-double-indenting-in-microsoft-word","tag-microsoft-word","tag-word-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
