Experiment No. 5
To Demonstrate and Practice Indentation, Lists, Line and Paragraph
Spacing

Introduction:
Indenting text adds structure to your document by allowing you to separate information.
Whether you'd like to move a single line or an entire paragraph, you can use the tab selector
and the horizontal ruler to set tabs and indents. Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in your
documents to outline, arrange, and emphasize text.
Objectives:
By the end of this experiment, student will have basic understanding of the following points.
 How to make indentation with different methods.
 How to create a bullet list.
 Creating and modifying a numbered list.
 How to play with line and paragraph spacing.
Theory Overview:
Indentations and line spacing.
In many types of documents, you may want to indent only the first line of each paragraph. This
helps to visually separate paragraphs from one another. It's also possible to indent every
line except for the first line, which is known as a hanging indent.
Line spacing is the space between each line in a paragraph. Microsoft Word allows you to
customize the line spacing to be single spaced (one line high), double spaced (two lines high),
or any other amount you want. The default spacing in Word 2013 is 1.08 lines, which is slightly
larger than single spaced.
Indent markers
In some cases, you may want to have more control over indents. Word provides indent
markers that allow you to indent paragraphs to the location you want. The indent markers are
located to the left of the horizontal ruler, and they provide several indenting options:
 First-line indent marker : Adjusts the first-line indent.
 Hanging indent marker : Adjusts the hanging indent.
 Left indent marker : Moves both the first-line indent and hanging indent markers at
the same time (this will indent all lines in a paragraph).

System Required:

 Computer System
 MS office 2013 or latest

Schematic Diagrams:
The following images work as graphical abstraction of the subject of this lab.

Procedure:
Task 01: Indenting with the use of Tab key:
A quick way to indent is to use the Tab key. This will create a first-line indent of 1/2 inch.
1. Place the insertion point at the very beginning of the paragraph you want to indent.
Figure 5-3: Starting indentation with Tab key.

2. Press the Tab key. On the ruler, you should see the first-line indent marker move to
the right by 1/2 inch.
3. The first line of the paragraph will be indented.

Figure 5-4: After indentation with Tab key.

If you can't see the ruler, select the View tab, then click the check box next to Ruler.

Task 02: Indentation using the indent markers:


1. Place the insertion point anywhere in the paragraph you want to indent, or select one
or more paragraphs.
2. Click, hold, and drag the desired indent marker. In our example, we'll click, hold,
and drag the left indent marker. A live preview of the indent will appear in the
document.

3. Release the mouse. The paragraphs will be indented.

Task 03: How to indent using the Indent commands:


If you want to indent multiple lines of text or all lines of a paragraph, you can use the Indent
commands.
1. Select the text you want to indent.
Figure 5-8: Text selected for indentation using Indent commands.

2. On the Home tab, click the desired Indent command:


o Increase Indent: This increases the indent by increments of 1/2 inch. In our
example, we'll increase the indent.
o Decrease Indent: This decreases the indent by increments of 1/2 inch.

3. The text will indent.


Task 04: Create a bulleted list:
1. Select the text you want to format as a list.
2. On the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow next to the Bullets command. A menu
of bullet styles will appear.
3. Move the mouse over the various bullet styles. A live preview of the bullet style will
appear in the document. Select the bullet style you want to use.
Figure 5-10: Bullets options in MS Word.

4. The text will be formatted as a bulleted list.


Options for working with lists
 To remove numbers or bullets from a list, select the list and click
the Bulleted or Numbered list command.
 When you're editing a list, you can press Enter to start a new line, and the new line
will automatically have a bullet or number. When you've reached the end of your list,
press Enter twice to return to normal formatting.
 By dragging the indent markers on the ruler, you can customize the indenting of your
list and the distance between the text and the bullet or number.
Task 05: Creating a numbered list:
When you need to organize text into a numbered list, Word offers several numbering
options. You can format your list with numbers, letters, or Roman numerals.
1. Select the text you want to format as a list.
2. On the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow next to the Numbering command. A
menu of numbering styles will appear.
3. Move the mouse over the various numbering styles. A live preview of the numbering
style will appear in the document. Select the numbering style you want to use.

4. The text will format as a numbered list.


Task 06: Restarting a numbered list:
If you want to restart the numbering of a list, Word has a Restart at 1 option. It can be
applied to numeric and alphabetical lists.
1. Right-click the list item you want to restart the numbering for, then select Restart at
1 from the menu that appears.

Figure 5-12: Restarting the numbered list in MS Word.

2. The list numbering will restart.


Task 07: Formatting line spacing:
1. Select the text you want to format.
2. On the Home tab, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing command. A drop-down
menu will appear.
3. Move the mouse over the various options. A live preview of the line spacing will
appear in the document. Select the line spacing you want to use.

4. The line spacing will change in the document.


Task 08: Fine tuning line spacing
Your line spacing options aren't limited to the ones in the Line and Paragraph Spacing
menu. To adjust spacing with more precision, select Line Spacing Options from the menu to
access the Paragraph dialog box. You'll then have a few additional options you can use to
customize spacing:
 Exactly:
When you choose this option, the line spacing is measured in points, just like font
sizes. Generally, the spacing should be slightly larger than the font size. For example,
if you're using 12-point text, you could use 15-pointspacing.
 At least:
Like the Exactly option, this option lets you choose how many points of spacing you
want. However, if you have different sizes of text on the same line, the spacing will
expand to fit the larger text.
 Multiple:
This option lets you type the number of lines of spacing you want. For example,
choosing Multiple and changing the spacing to 1.2 will make the text slightly more
spread out than single-spaced text. If you want the lines to be closer together, you can
choose a smaller value like 0.9.

Task 09: Formatting paragraph spacing:
In our example, we'll increase the space before a paragraph to separate it from a heading. This
will make our document easier to read.
1. Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want to format.
2. On the Home tab, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing command. Hover the
mouse over Add Space Before Paragraph or Remove Space After Paragraph from
the drop-down menu. A live preview of the paragraph spacing will appear in the
document.
3. Select the paragraph spacing you want to use. In our example, we'll select Add Space
BeforeParagraph.

4. The paragraph spacing will change in the document.


From the drop-down menu, you can also select Line Spacing Options to open the Paragraph
dialog box. From here, you can control how much space there is before and after the
paragraph.
