Hanging Indent Default laitkens 12/17/2008 5:57:01 PM In Word 2003 all of a sudden when I manually move the hanging indent over to ..5' it will not stop exactly at .5. When I go into Format Paragraph the Hanging Indentation is set to .49'. I have to manually change it to .5'. Is there a way to get this back to allow me to set it at .5' without having to change it every time. Other users around me are able to set it right at .5' by just moving the marker on the ruler. Thank you

RE: Hanging Indent Default SandyH 12/17/2008 7:53:01 PM Insteading of using the mouse, try pressing CTRL+T once. Each time you press CTRL+T the hanging indent increases by .5". To decrease, press CTRL+SHIFT+T. "laitkens" wrote: [Quoted Text] > In Word 2003 all of a sudden when I manually move the hanging indent over to > .5' it will not stop exactly at .5.

RE: Hanging Indent Default laitkens 12/18/2008 4:59:03 PM Thank you for the response. This is good to know. Is there a fix for the initial problem though. The user thinks this remedy is a "workaround" not a "fix". She would like her initial issue fixed. "SandyH" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Insteading of using the mouse, try pressing CTRL+T once.

Re: Hanging Indent Default "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/19/2008 1:18:05 PM If you hold the ALT key while dragging the indent marker (to override the document grid settings), you should be able to set the desired value directly. Note, however, that it will be easier to create a style with the desired indentation already defined, and then apply that style as needed. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "laitkens" <laitkens[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:983129F1-856D-4267-85BB-BF61D51AAD02[ at ]microsoft.com...
