Setting indents
Indents
Indents move text inward from the right and left edges of the frame. Use first-line indents, not spaces or tabs, to
indent the first line of a paragraph. A first-line indent is positioned relative to the left-margin indent. For example,
if a paragraph’s left edge is indented one pica, setting the first-line indent to one pica indents the first line of the
paragraph two picas from the left edge of the frame or inset.
