To reduce the indent of the paragraph and bring it closer to the edge of the page by one level, click the Decrease Indent button. Tips and Tricks: You can increase indents by one increment (one tenth of an inch) rather than by one level: Click the Layout tab. In the Paragraph group, click the arrows next to Left and Right to move paragraphs by one increment for each click. The Indent commands indent all lines in a paragraph the same amount. If you want only the first line of a paragraph to be indented and the remainder of the paragraph to be left-aligned, use a First Line Indent. If you want the first line of a paragraph to be left-aligned and the remainder of the paragraph to be indented, use a Hanging Indent. In the Format Paragraph dialog, you can precisely set options for first line indents and hanging indents.
