Right click on it and click Paragraph command item. Sorry this is so long, and thanks for your help! Step 1: Highlight the paragraph (s) you want to remove first line indents. Question 2: Has anyone found a plug-in that will provide the ability to indent some paragraphs, but not all? (I have looked, in vain!) Question 1: Why is this capability not built in to WordPress, after all these years? So, for students trying to learn what a paragraph is, this is just confusing. Sometimes this works other times it does not. It’s easier done than said (works for Word on PC or MAC):Place your cursor at the beginning of your citation, and highlight it.Right click your mouse.Select Paragraph from the resulting pop up menu.Under Indentation, use the Special pull-down menu to select hanging.Use the By menu to select 0.5. This is useless for those who want to indent the first line of some paragraphs, but not all. NOTE: By default, the measurement units are in inches, but you can change that to. For example, we entered 0.5 inches to indent our table a half an inch. Enter an amount in the Indent from left edit box to indicate how far you want to indent the entire table. With block paragraphs (the default in WP) it is impossible to tell the difference between a new paragraph and a continuation of a paragraph after a block quotation.įirst-line indents are crucial, too, when writing dialogue. On the Table Properties dialog box, make sure the Table tab is active. It’s 2022, and still no joy.įirst-line indents are crucial when including a block quotation in a paragraph: the lack of an indent when the paragraph resumes after the block quotation shows that the reader is still in the same paragraph. Then the first line of every paragraph will automatically indented. I have been waiting for years for WP to include a way to indent the first line of a paragraph, or not, that is a simple as a word processor. It is better to highlight the entire document (Ctrl-A, a for all) and click the paragraph settings on the menu bar, and change the special indentation to first line. However, it sucks when it comes to teaching students what a paragraph is. I have used WordPress for years to create class blogs where my students publish essays, poems, and stories.
