The red line in the Word: how to work with it?

Those users who are just starting to work with the program "Microsoft Office Word", are faced with an interesting question about how to indent the red line in the "Word". In order for the text to turn out to be beautiful and easy to read, you must format it, or rather use some tools that are present on the panel. If the text is too large, then it must necessarily be divided into paragraphs, as a rule, each paragraph should start with a red line. To put it more clearly, then the first word in the new paragraph should have an indentation relative to the paragraph itself. Today we will talk about what the red line in the Word is for, and how to execute it in this program.

How?

To make a paragraph in the Word program is very simple, just press the "Enter" button and you can see that the text can be written just below the above, and in order to make one more indent, it will be sufficient just to press this button once more , And then between the paragraphs you will have an empty space. The red line in the "Word" can be executed using one of several options, but today we will tell you only about two ways.

Method 1

Under the first option, consider how to make a red line using a ruler that is in a special toolbar. First of all, you will need to make sure that the ruler is included in your editor. If it is not, then you should just turn it on. To turn on the ruler, go to the "View" tab, then simply find a special "Line" column and put a tick before it. Now notice that on the ruler, both to the right and to the left, there are markers and sliders. The slider on the right is responsible for the distance from the text to the right side of the sheet, if necessary, you can set it to the desired position.

Let's look at the sliders that are on the left side, there are only three of them there. The lower slider should be in the form of a rectangle, it can be used to create a left indent. It is this slider that will be responsible for placing text about the left edge. The red line in Word 2010 is installed in much the same way as in older and newer versions, so the now-mentioned option is suitable for this version of the program. The upper slider, which is located on the left side, will have the appearance of a triangle with a vertex pointing down (inverted), this slider is designed to indent the first line. It is with this slider that you can install a red line in new paragraphs. In this case, when you create each paragraph, you will already have a red line in automatic mode. Now pay attention to the markers, which are also located on the ruler. The indentation marker for the first line should be set slightly to the right of the left indent marker. In this case, you will get that the indent of the first line will be about one and a half centimeter to the right of the left margin. After doing all of the above, the red line in the "Word" will be installed automatically, and if necessary, you can independently adjust the indentation.

Method 2

Let's now consider the second option, how to create a red line using a paragraph. This option is suitable if your text has already been written, but the paragraphs do not have a red line. First of all, select the entire text or the part that you should format. Then make a double click with the left mouse button and before you there will be a small menu where you just need to select "Paragraph". The red line in the "Word" can be installed with the help of other options, but we have given you the simplest and fastest.
