You can change the indentation of text within a paragraph by first positioning the cursor anywhere within the paragraph and then selecting the paragraph indentation menu and choosing either indent left or indent right. You can indent (or outdent) a paragraph multiple times to increase or decrease the indentation. The left margin of the paragraph will change according to the indentation level. If the paragraph is numbered then changing the indentation level will also change the numbering level. For example consider the example text below:
1. First line
2. Second line
3. Third line
Indenting the second line to the right will result in the following:
1. First line
a) Second line
2. Third line
