00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:14.480
Indentation and line spacing are two important
elements that you can manage in your PowerPoint

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.769
presentation that can change the way text
on a slide appears.

00:00:19.769 --> 00:00:26.769
When used wisely, both can have a significant
impact on the look of your slides.

00:00:26.769 --> 00:00:33.680
In an earlier lesson, we learned how to insert
a bulleted and numbered list, and format the

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:39.690
bullet in various ways.
In addition to creating a one level list such

00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:46.690
as this one, PowerPoint gives you the ability
to create an indented or subordinate list

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:54.239
within a list.
On slide 4, at the very bottom we have an

00:00:55.250 --> 00:01:00.980
indented list here with Print, TV & Online.

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:06.210
On slide 10 we have a list of types of paid
and unpaid leave.

00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:13.210
I want to add some information that lets employees
know the number of sick days they earn, I

00:01:14.650 --> 00:01:26.300
could type it here like this or I could add
it to the bulleted list beneath Sick.

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:32.250
It would make sense to indent this bullet
so it appears indented beneath Sick leave.

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:37.890
To create an indented list, place the cursor
at the start of the line that you want to

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:44.330
indent.
Then on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group,

00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:50.740
click Increase List Level.
And now you can see that this indents the

00:01:50.740 --> 00:01:57.460
text and bullet.
If you click the Increase List Level command

00:01:57.460 --> 00:02:03.870
again, the bullet and text will indent even
further.

00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:10.870
And you can continue to do this and see that
there are multiple list levels.

00:02:11.090 --> 00:02:17.530
To move text back to a less indented level
in the list, place the cursor at the start

00:02:17.530 --> 00:02:29.530
of the line, and click Decrease List Level.
You can do the same thing here for vacation.

00:02:30.470 --> 00:02:35.180
Just place the cursor at the start of the
line that you want to indent and click the

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:42.180
Increase List Level command.
Now, while you are on the indented list, if

00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:49.980
you press Enter, the new bullet will appear
as part of the indented list.

00:02:50.030 --> 00:02:54.930
A common example of changing an indent is
when you want to adjust the space between

00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:59.040
a bullet in a list and the text that goes
with it.

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:05.860
You may want to add more space between the
bullet and text, or have less space.

00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:12.860
To do this, you'll need the PowerPoint ruler.
It is the easiest way to adjust the indents.

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:20.300
If your ruler is not active, select the View
tab, and then click the Ruler check box in

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:25.390
the Show/Hide group.
There are three different markers that appear

00:03:25.390 --> 00:03:35.390
on the ruler for the selected text box.
This is the first line indent marker, it kind

00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:42.459
of looks like an upside down triangle.
It indicates the position of the actual bullet.

00:03:42.459 --> 00:03:47.910
To change the position of the bullet, place
the cursor in the line of text connected with

00:03:47.910 --> 00:03:54.910
the bullet you want to move or for multiple
bullets, select the text.

00:03:55.110 --> 00:04:02.110
Now, just click and drag the first-line indent
marker to change the position of the bullet.

00:04:04.770 --> 00:04:09.910
And then release the mouse button at the desired
location.

00:04:09.910 --> 00:04:16.289
As you can see, you can move the bullet closer
or farther away from the text.

00:04:16.289 --> 00:04:22.949
I'm actually going to put this back to the
original position.

00:04:22.949 --> 00:04:29.949
This triangle is the hanging indent marker.
It indicates the position of the line of text.

00:04:30.020 --> 00:04:35.289
To change the position of the text, we just
need to place our cursor in the line we want

00:04:35.289 --> 00:04:42.289
to change, or select the lines.
Then, click and drag the hanging indent marker.

00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:52.050
Now just release the mouse button.
See how easy that was? Now, this rectangle

00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:58.509
beneath the hanging indent marker is the left
indent marker.

00:04:58.509 --> 00:05:04.900
It adjusts both the first line and hanging
indent markers at the same time and maintains

00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:11.529
the current spacing.
It shows the indent position of text in the

00:05:11.529 --> 00:05:16.469
list.
To move the bullet and text at the same time

00:05:16.469 --> 00:05:23.469
and maintain the relationship between them,
just click and drag the rectangle, and release

00:05:23.610 --> 00:05:28.740
it at the desired location.
See how the markers moved at the same time

00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:35.270
on the ruler? Check out the second part of
this lesson to learn more about indentation

00:05:35.270 --> 00:05:36.559
and line spacing.
