5 Space Indentation for Paragraphs

[@triciagadd9372]

This worked for me! However, mine says 5 spaces is .19" not .25. Does anyone know why this discrepancy?

@triciagadd9372, I checked it out in my most recent Word edition (2021), and you're right about that. This must be something that Microsoft changed. In the past, .25 was five spaces in; now, it's eight spaces in, and .50 (the standard Tab set that used to be 10 spaces in) is now 16 spaces in. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Holy crap. I never thought to adjust the setting! LOL! I always just hit that space bar five times! THANK YOU for this; but...I'll probably never be cured of hitting that space bar!

I know what you mean, Charles. Even though I know the setting for this, I still, sometimes, tap the keys 5 spaces. Lol! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information. I found a shortcut. I went to taps and typed 0.25" and 0.5" and saved. ; )

I followed these steps and was told my paper was indented only 1/4 inch . I was subsequently marked down. Not sure if I did it wrong somehow, but I followed the steps

[@Tammi_The-Cr4fty-Cat-Lady]

I'm sorry to hear that, Yana bana! What does your instructor's directions say about formatting papers for his/her course?
