How To Use Indent Increase, Decrease Buttons In Word

When you have many paragraphs and you need to adjust the indentation all at once the quickest and easiest way to do that is probably to use your increase or decrease indent buttons.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Select all paragraphs.
  2. Use your mouse and triple-click inside the left-hand margin of your document.
  3. You can also use a keyboard shortcut (i.e., CTRL + A) to select all of the text in your document.
  4. From your Home tab on your Ribbon, in the Paragraph group, click on Increase Indent to move your paragraph further away from your margin.

This will increase your indent by whatever your default tab stop has been set to.

When you click increase once, your lines will increase by one inch and will continue increasing every time you click it.
