first line indent.

Right: Enter the right margin, relative to the right edge of the text object.
Bottom: Enter the bottom margin, relative to the bottom edge of the text object.

To adjust the indents for an individual paragraph:
1. Do any of the following to define the region of text to which you want to apply the indent settings:
▪ To change the indent settings for a single paragraph, click anywhere in that paragraph.
▪ To change the indent settings for one or more contiguous paragraphs, click and drag to highlight
those paragraphs.
▪ To change the indent settings for text you enter from this point forward, click at the new
paragraph position.
2. Click on an indent marker and drag it to the new position.
First line indent marker: Click and drag to change the left indent for the first line of a paragraph of
text. This indent is relative to the left margin set for the text.
Left indent marker: Click and drag to change the left indent for all lines of a paragraph except the
first. This indent is relative to the left margin set for the text.
Hanging indent marker: Click and drag to move both the First line indent marker and the Left indent
marker simultaneously, thus preserving the offset between the two while changing their position with
respect to the left margin.
Right indent marker: Click and drag the Right indent marker to change the right indent for the
paragraph. This indent is relative to the right edge of the text object, and has an effect only if word
wrap is on. If word wrap is off, text extends along the same line until you enter a carriage return,
regardless of whether it extends beyond the Right indent marker you set for the text.
