您花了多少时间尝试修复Microsoft Word中的悬挂缩进？你有没有问过自己，“为什么，哦，为什么，第一行就像跳板一样悬在每个段落的左边？为什么会有人想以这种方式格式化段落？”

用户可以从Microsoft Word^{(Microsoft Word)}中的三种内置缩进样式中进行选择。我们将讨论您为什么要选择每一个，如何选择缩进样式并将其应用于文档，以及如何修复无法按您想要的方式工作的悬挂缩进。

Microsoft Word中的 3 种缩进^{(Indentation)}样式

Microsoft Word提供三种缩进样式：

• 第一行缩进
• 悬挂缩进
• 没有缩进

第一行缩进^{(First-line indent )}是您经常在书籍^(books)和报纸上看到的一种样式。每个段落的第一行都是缩进的。

悬挂缩进^{(Hanging indent)}最常用于引文^(citations)。如果您正在编写以Chicago、APA或MLA引文样式引用的参考书目或作品，您将使用悬挂缩进。

无标识^{(No ident)}是Microsoft Word文档的默认缩进样式。段落的每一行与左边距的距离相同。

这种缩进样式经常出现在商业文档中，从信件到报告。 

最终，由您决定哪种缩进样式最适合您的文档。 

选择缩进样式

在Microsoft Word^{(Microsoft Word)}中选择缩进样式很简单。您可以为当前段落或整个文档设置缩进。

如何在Windows上设置^(Windows)缩进样式^{(Indentation Style)}

如果您在运行Windows的 PC 上使用^(Windows)Microsoft Word应用程序，请按照以下步骤设置缩进样式。

1. 选择^{(Select )}要应用缩进样式的文本。如果不选择任何文本，缩进样式将应用于光标所在的段落。如果要将缩进样式应用于整个文档，请选择文档中的所有文本。
2. 在主^(Home)菜单中，选择段落设置启动器^{(Paragraph settings launcher)}。

1. 选择缩进和间距^{(Indents and Spacing)}选项卡。

1. 在Special下，选择缩进样式。

注意：如果您选择 First-line 或 Hanging indents，您可以在^(Note)By下调整行的缩进量。 

如何在Mac上设置^(Mac)缩进样式^{(Indentation Style)}

Mac用户的步骤基本相同。

1. 选择^{(Select )}要缩进的段落。
2. 转到格式^{(Format )}>段落^(Paragraph)。
3. 在Special下，选择缩进样式。

同样，如果您选择 First-line 或 Hanging indents，您可以在By部分调整行的缩进量。 

如何在Web上设置^(Web)缩进样式^{(Indentation Style)}

如果您在浏览器中使用Microsoft Word，以下是设置缩进样式的方法。

1. 选择^{(Select )}要在其中添加缩进的文本。如果要对整个文档应用相同的缩进样式，请选择全部^{(select all)}。
2. 在主^(Home)菜单中，选择段落设置启动器^{(Paragraph Settings launcher)}。

1. 在Special下，选择您喜欢的缩进样式。

如何使用Tab 键缩进^{(Tab Key)}单个段落^{(Single Paragraph)} 

如果您想对单个段落应用第一行缩进，这是最简单的方法。

1. 将光标^(Position)放在要缩进的段落第一行的开头。
2. 按T​​ab 键^(Tab)。

段落的第一行将缩进，您会在标尺上看到一个制表位，显示缩进的确切深度。

如何使用标尺缩进 

您可以使用标尺上的制表位将第一行缩进应用于文档中的单个段落或每个段落。

1. 如果您没有看到标尺，请转到View > Ruler将其打开。 

在桌面应用程序上，选中该框以显示标尺。^(Ruler.)

1. 如果要对单个段落应用首行缩进，请将光标放在要缩进的段落中。要将第一行缩进应用于多个段落，请选择^{(select )}要缩进的段落。
2. 在标尺上，将制表位向下拖动到您希望所选段落缩进的最右边。 

如何设置左右缩进

如果您想将段落的所有行相对于左边距或右边距缩进设定的距离，方法如下。

1. 在主^(Home)菜单中，选择段落设置启动器^{(Paragraph settings launcher)}。
2. 在缩进^{(Indentation)}下，增加或减少距离。您将在“预览^(Preview)”部分看到它的外观。

如何使第一行缩进^{(Line Indent)}成为默认值^(Default)

默认情况下，Microsoft Word不会缩进段落。如果您正在使用适用于Windows或Mac的桌面应用程序并且想要将第一行缩进设为默认值，请按照以下步骤操作：

1. 将光标放在段落中的某处。
2. 选择主页^(Home)选项卡。
3. 在样式^(Styles)部分中，右键单击普通^(Normal)样式并选择修改^(Modify)。

1. 选择格式^(Format)>段落^(Paragraph)。

1. 在缩进和间距^{(Indents and Spacing)}选项卡的缩进下，^{(Indentation, )}在特殊^{(Special )}下拉列表中选择第一行。^{(First line )}

1. 选择确定^(OK)。
2. 要在开始新文档时始终使用第一行缩进，请选择基于此模板的新文档^{(New documents based on this template)}选项。

1. 再次选择确定^(OK)。

什么是镜像缩进？

您可能已经注意到上图中镜像缩进的复选框。^{(Mirror indents)}选中该框后，您会注意到Left和Right Indentation设置更改为Inside和Outside。 

这个想法是，您可以相对于双面印刷书籍的内边距或外边距应用缩进。这样，您就可以防止文本被书的装订遮住。 

但是，如果您正在设计书籍的布局，则应该使用Adob​​e InDesign或 Quark Xpress 等页面布局程序。仅仅因为您可以在^{(can )}Microsoft Word等文字处理器中执行某些操作并不意味着您应该这样做。因此，我们建议不要选中镜像^(Mirror)缩进框。 

增加^(Increase)和减少缩进按钮^{(Decrease Indentation Buttons)}

Microsoft Word还提供了快速增加或减少当前段落缩进的按钮。这些按钮使整个段落远离或靠近页边距。

无论您使用的是桌面应用程序还是Microsoft Word的浏览器版本，都可以在^{(Microsoft Word)}主菜单的^(Home)段落^(Paragraph)部分访问这些按钮。 

前进并按您认为合适的方式缩进

现在，您对在Microsoft Word^{(Microsoft Word)}中缩进段落的了解比您想象的要多。拍拍自己的后背。

How to Fix Hanging Indentation in Word

How much time have you spent trying to fix hanging indentation in Microsoft Word? Have you ever asked yourѕelf, “Why, oh, why, is thе first line hangіng out like а diνing board to the left of every paragraph? Why would anyone ever want to format paragraphs that way?”

Users can choose from three built-in indentation styles in Microsoft Word. We’ll discuss why you’d want to choose each one, how to select and apply an indentation style to your document, and how to fix hanging indentation that isn’t working the way you want.

3 Styles of Indentation in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word offers three styles of indentation:

• First-line indent
• Hanging indent
• No indent

First-line indent is a style you often see in books and newspapers. The first line of every paragraph is indented.

Hanging indent is most commonly used for citations. If you’re writing a bibliography or works cited in the Chicago, APA, or MLA citation styles, you’ll use the hanging indent.

No ident is the default indentation style for Microsoft Word documents. Every line of your paragraph will be the same distance from the left margin.

This indentation style is frequently found in business documents, from letters to reports. 

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide which indentation style works best for your document. 

Selecting an Indentation Style

Selecting an indentation style in Microsoft Word is simple. You can set an indentation for the current paragraph or for the entire document.

How to Set an Indentation Style on Windows

If you’re using the Microsoft Word application on a PC running Windows, follow these steps to set an indentation style.

1. Select the text where you want to apply an indent style. If you do not select any text, the indent style will be applied to the paragraph your cursor is in. If you want to apply an indent style to the whole document, select all the text in the document.
2. In the Home menu, select the Paragraph settings launcher.

1. Select the Indents and Spacing tab.

1. Under Special, select an indentation style.

Note: If you choose First-line or Hanging indents, you can adjust how far the line will be indented under By. 

How to Set an Indentation Style on Mac

The steps are largely the same for Mac users.

1. Select the paragraph you want to indent.
2. Go to Format > Paragraph.
3. Under Special, select an indentation style.

Again, if you choose First-line or Hanging indents, you can adjust how far the line will be indented in the By section. 

How to Set an Indentation Style on the Web

If you’re using Microsoft Word in a browser, here’s how to set an indentation style.

1. Select the text where you want to add an indent. If you want to apply the same indentation style to the entire document, select all.
2. In the Home menu, select the Paragraph Settings launcher.

1. Under Special, select the indentation style you prefer.

How to Indent a Single Paragraph Using the Tab Key 

If you want to apply a First-Line Indent to a single paragraph, here’s the easiest way.

1. Position your cursor at the beginning of the first line of the paragraph you want to indent.
2. Press the Tab key.

The first line of the paragraph will be indented, and you’ll see a tab stop on the ruler, showing you the exact depth of the indent.

How to Use the Ruler to Indent 

You can use a tab stop on the ruler to apply a first-line indent to a single paragraph or every paragraph in the document.

1. If you don’t see the ruler, turn it on by going to View > Ruler. 

On the desktop app, check the box to display the Ruler.

1. If you want to apply a first-line indent to a single paragraph, position your cursor in the paragraph you want to indent. To apply a first-line indent to multiple paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to indent.
2. On the ruler, drag the tab stop pointing down as far right as you want the selected paragraphs to be indented. 

How to Set Left and Right Indents

If you want to indent all lines of a paragraph a set distance in relation to either the left or right margin, here’s how.

1. In the Home menu, select the Paragraph settings launcher.
2. Under Indentation, increase or decrease the distance. You’ll see what it will look like in the Preview section.

How To Make First Line Indent the Default

By default, Microsoft Word will not indent paragraphs. If you’re using the desktop app for Windows or Mac and you want to make first-line indent the default, follow these steps:

1. Put your cursor somewhere in a paragraph.
2. Select the Home tab.
3. In the Styles section, right-click the Normal style and select Modify.

1. Select Format > Paragraph.

1. On the Indents and Spacing tab, under Indentation, choose First line in the Special dropdown list.

1. Select OK.
2. To always use first-line indentation any time you start a new document, choose the New documents based on this template option.

1. Select OK again.

What are Mirror Indents?

You may have noticed the checkbox for Mirror indents in the image above. When that box is checked, you’ll notice that the Left and Right Indentation settings change to Inside and Outside. 

The idea is that you can apply indentation relative to the inside or outside margin for a two-sided printed book. That way you can prevent text from being obscured by the book’s binding. 

However, if you’re designing the layout of a book, you should be using a page layout program like Adobe InDesign or Quark Xpress. Just because you can do something in a word processor like Microsoft Word doesn’t mean you should. Therefore, we recommend leaving the Mirror indents box unchecked. 

The Increase and Decrease Indentation Buttons

Microsoft Word also provides buttons to quickly increase or decrease the indentation of the current paragraph. These buttons move the entire paragraph farther away from the margin or closer to it.

Access these buttons in the Paragraph section of the Home menu, regardless of whether you’re using the desktop app or the browser version of Microsoft Word. 

Go Forth and Indent As You See Fit

Now you know more than you ever thought you would about indenting paragraphs in Microsoft Word. Give yourself a pat on the back.
