Indent with the Tab key or First Line Indent

Here’s a question; “Do you indent with the keyboard Tab key or the Microsoft Word First-Line indent?

Tab Key Indent

If you use the Tab key to indent, you would insert or remove each tab individually, one-at-a-time. It also means you would have to change or delete each individual indent. If you use the Microsoft Word First-line indent feature, you can select each first line sentence, change or remove that paragraph indent as a group. This may not mean anything if you have a one or two-page paper, but it may be more meaningful if there are ten, twenty, or more pages that need changes in the way the paragraph is indented.

Special First Line Indent

To create a first-line indent, click Format, and then select Paragraph. In the Indent and Spacing tab, choose the Indention section that displays a drop-down menu labeled Special. Click the down arrow and choose First line. Click the OK button, and that’s it!
