Hi Judith, Try using control-a to select the entire document, the right click (or shift-f10 or applications key), and choose "paragraph ..." from the context menu. This will give you the tabbed dialog for paragraph level formatting, and you should come in in the indents and spacing tab. Change your indents as you desire and click "ok", and they will apply to the entire document. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Judith Bron Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 9:53 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: word and margins In a large document my paragraph indentations are set to 0.5 inches. Throughout most of the document these are the indentations but every now and then word decides to create its own rules and my indentations end up being 1.00 or 1.5 inches. I have tried reformatting but to no avail in these few places. Does anyone know how to fix these? Thanks, Judith
