1 Google Documents Using Indents, Tabs, and Lists Introduction Page 1 Indenting and lists are a great way to draw attention to important areas of your document. There are several ways in Google Documents that you can indent text. However, it's important to use these tools appropriately and indent correctly each time. This can save time and make the editing process go smoothly. In this lesson, you will learn how to create tabs and indents using tab-stops and the Ruler. You will also learn how to adjust indents using the Increase and Decrease Indent buttons. And, you will learn how to create a list. Using Indents and Tab Stops Watch the video to learn how to add indents and tab stops in Google Documents. Page 2 Watch the video (3:12). Need help? Indenting Text In many types of documents, you may wish to indent only the first line of each paragraph. This helps to visually separate paragraphs from one another.

2 First Line Indent To Indent Using the Tab Key: A quick and common way to indent is to use the Tab key. This will create a first line indent of1/2 inch. 1. Place the insertion point at the very beginning of the paragraph that you wish to indent. Placing the insertion point 2. Press the Tab key on the keyboard. The text in the first line will move to the right by 1/2 inch.

3 Pressing the Tab key To Indent Using the Indent Shortcut Buttons: If you want to indent all of the lines in a paragraph, you can use the Increase or Decrease indent shortcut buttons. 1. Select the text you wish to indent. Selecting text to indent 2. Click the Increase indent shortcut button to increase the indent by increments of 1/2 inch. Increasing the indent 3. All of the lines of the paragraph will indent.

4 Multiple indented lines 4. Click the Decrease indent shortcut button to decrease the indent by increments of 1/2 inch. Decreasing the indent Alternatively, you can click Format from the menu toolbar and then select Paragraph styles to locate the Increase indent and Decrease indent commands. Using the Format menu

5 Customize Indents Page 3 You can use the three indent markers and the Ruler to create custom indents that are larger or smaller than the Tab key's default 1/2 inch indent. When you move the indent markers, the Ruler provides a blue guide line to help you see where the indent will appear. First Line Indent marker: Adjusts the first line indent of a paragraph. Left Indent marker: Moves in unison with the First Line Indent marker to indent all of the lines in the paragraph. Right Indent marker: Increases or decreases the right indent by moving all of the lines of the paragraph from the right margin. The three indent markers To Customize Indents with the Ruler: 1. Place the insertion point anywhere in the text or paragraph you wish to indent, or you can select one or more paragraphs.

6 Selecting text to indent 2. Click, hold and drag the desired indent marker. As the marker moves, the blue guide line extends from the Ruler. Holding and dragging the Left Indent marker 3. Release the mouse at the desired location. The text will indent. The customized indent To indent the paragraph on the right side, click, hold and drag the Right Indent marker.

7 Customizing with the Right Indent marker Using Tab Stops Page 4 Using tab-stops gives you more control over the placement of text. By default, every time you press the Tab key on the keyboard, the insertion point will move 1/2 inch to the right. By adding tab-stops to the Ruler, you can change the size of the tabs, and you can apply more than one tab-stop to a single line. For example, on a resume, you can right-align important dates by adding a right tab-stop.

8 Using two types of alignment on the same line There are three types of tab-stops in Google Documents. Left tab-stop : Left-aligns the text at the tab-stop Center tab-stop : Centers the text around the tab-stop Right tab-stop : Right-aligns the text at the tab stop. Pressing the Tab key can either add a tab or create a first line indent depending on the location of the insertion point. Generally, if the insertion point is at the beginning of an existing paragraph, it will create a first line indent; otherwise, it will create a tab. To Add Tab-Stops: 1. Select the paragraph or paragraphs that you wish to add tab-stops to. If you don't select any paragraphs, the tab stops will apply to the current paragraph and any new paragraphs that you type below it. Selecting text to add a tab-stop

9 2. Click the location on the ruler where you want your text to appear. A drop-down menu of tab-stop selections will appear. Clicking the ruler 3. Select the desired tab-stop. You can add as many tab-stops as you want. Selecting a tab-stop 4. Place the insertion point at the location you wish to add the tab. Placing the insertion point 5. Press the Tab key on the keyboard. The text will jump to the location of the next tab-stop.

10 Applying the tab-stop To remove the tab-stop, click, hold and drag it off of the Ruler. Creating Lists Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in your documents to format, arrange, and emphasize text. In Google Documents, you can insert new bulleted and numbered lists, restart a numbered list, modify the existing bullet style of a list, and format multilevel lists.
