I would just modify the "normal style" (or create and apply a new paragraph style) and specify the desired indentation there.
I wouldn't manually change the indentationm of all the paragraphs in a document - that would waste far too much time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Saturday, July 8, 2017 5:09 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to indent the paragraph in MS word 2007? HI, Fernando. In the US English version of MS Word, control-f is the find command and control-h the "search and replace" command. Control-m, which I believe is the US English counterpart of your Spanish control-f, indents at the left side. However, it doesn't allow for the specific increments that the paragraph dialog makes possible. Reference to a "hanging" indent may be confusing here. I don't believe it's what Mohib is looking for. I know of no keystroke for moving a document's right margin farther in other than the paragraph dialog I described earlier. Nice explanation of how the tab key works, or doesn't work, here. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Fernando Gregoire Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2017 3:36 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to indent the paragraph in MS word 2007? Hi Mohib, At least in Spanish, there are keystrokes for hanging the text in two different preset ways, specifically CTRL+F and CTRL+H. I say at least in Spanish, because unlike in other languages Microsoft localized a lot of the keyboard shortcuts in Office Spanish versions, and may not be the same in English. To know exactly what keystrokes are used in English for this, taking advantage of the fact that JAWS provides feedback when pressing these commands, I suggest you to check in the Word JAWS key map file with the JAWS Keyboard Manager (press INSERT+8 witting Word) what keystrokes are assigned to the scripts Indent and HangingIndent. You can also see Word keyboard shortcuts help topic that is probably even more accurate than in Spanish, but this will take you more time. Regarding the use of TAB, it is normal that the text disappears if selected when you press that key, because in edit areas outside dialog boxes it is often treated as any other character. You should instead place at the top of the paragraphs or lines you want to indent before pressing TAB. Another thing you can do is to press the Increase Indent button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. This command has no hot key by default, but you can either add the command to the Quick Access Toolbar or assign a keyboard shortcut to it. If you add it to the Quick Access Toolbar, you will be able to quickly activate it by pressing ALT plus the number this item is in the Quick Access Toolbar, provided that it is in a position minor than 10. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mohib Anwar Rafay Sent: Saturday, July 8, 2017 12:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to indent the paragraph in MS word 2007? Justin, yes control+1 did the trick for single line spacing, but I don't know why after selecting the desired block of text in the paragraph, pressing tab key is making the text disappeared. Adrian, yes that procedure is working fine, but it will take lots of time as I have to indent block of text almost at each page in a 150 pages document. So I was looking for a key stroke or key combination to accomplish the task. On 7/8/17, Adrian Spratt <adr...@adrianspratt.com> wrote: > Hi, Mohib.
