00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:13.300
Indents and line spacing are two things that
you

00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:14.530
can use to control

00:00:14.530 --> 00:00:17.380
how the text looks on the slide.

00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:21.849
And you can adjust them whether you're using
normal paragraphs or a bulleted or numbered

00:00:21.849 --> 00:00:23.159
list.

00:00:23.159 --> 00:00:26.679
If you just want to quickly add a first-line
indent to a paragraph,

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.669
you can put the insertion point at the
beginning of the paragraph

00:00:29.669 --> 00:00:31.569
and then press the tab key.

00:00:31.569 --> 00:00:35.210
And you can see that this only affected the
first

00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:36.210
line.

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:39.559
So if you add a first-line indent to each
paragraph on the slide,

00:00:39.559 --> 00:00:41.969
it kind of helps them
stand out from one another,

00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:45.929
which can make the
text a little bit easier to read.

00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:48.210
There's another way to change the indents,
and

00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.379
this affects all of the lines.

00:00:50.379 --> 00:00:52.769
First, I'm going to select the paragraphs
that I

00:00:52.769 --> 00:00:54.589
want to change.

00:00:54.589 --> 00:00:57.140
And I want to push the lines to the right
to add

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:01.420
more space between the image and the text.

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:06.710
On the Home tab, click Increase List Level,
and

00:01:06.710 --> 00:01:07.360
you can see that the

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:11.480
left edge of the text moves
to the right.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:17.960
That's actually too much space, so I'll click
Decrease List Level.

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:19.790
The other thing to notice is that when you
change

00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:22.750
the indent, the font size changes, too.

00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:25.580
So if you want the text to be a specific size,
you

00:01:25.580 --> 00:01:28.540
may need to readjust it.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:34.390
You can also use these methods to change the
indentation on a bulleted or numbered list.

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:36.360
One reason why you might want to do this is
to

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:39.380
create a multilevel list.

00:01:39.380 --> 00:01:42.140
You can select the lines you want to change,
and

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:46.130
then click Increase Indent Level.

00:01:46.130 --> 00:01:48.820
And this is a multilevel list because these
items

00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:50.660
form a kind of sub-list

00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:53.850
that is organized under this line.

00:01:53.850 --> 00:01:55.640
Now to make these lines stand out a little
bit

00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:02.390
more, we can just change the bullet type.

00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:04.280
So having a different bullet here really helps
to

00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.250
show that these lines are together

00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:10.200
and that they're on a
different level from the other lines.

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.000
The only thing I don't like about the bullets
is

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.110
that they're a little too far away from the
text.

00:02:15.110 --> 00:02:18.690
So I'm going to fine-tune them using the Ruler.

00:02:18.690 --> 00:02:23.090
To do this, go to the View tab, and put a
check

00:02:23.090 --> 00:02:28.750
where it says Ruler.

00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:30.330
When you select the lines, you'll be able
to see

00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:32.280
the indent markers,

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.140
and with a bulleted list, you can just
move the First-Line Indent marker

00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:38.830
to control how far
the bullet is from the text.

00:02:38.830 --> 00:02:41.060
I want it to be pretty close to the text,
but not

00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:43.860
too close.

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:45.760
This can really make your lists look a lot
more

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:48.260
polished.

00:02:48.260 --> 00:02:52.120
Now I'm going to go back to the paragraphs.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.350
And I'd like to adjust the spacing in between
the

00:02:54.350 --> 00:02:56.500
lines to open this up a little bit.

00:02:56.500 --> 00:03:01.450
So you can select the paragraphs, and on the
Home

00:03:01.450 --> 00:03:06.970
tab, go to the Line Spacing command.

00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:11.069
And you can choose a line spacing value here.

00:03:11.069 --> 00:03:16.360
But I'd really like something that's in between
these two values, say 1.3.

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:23.360
To do that, just go down to Line Spacing Options,
and next to Line Spacing choose Multiple.

00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:28.450
And then you can just type in the value that
you

00:03:28.450 --> 00:03:32.270
want here.

00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:35.209
While we're here, we can adjust the paragraph
spacing,

00:03:35.209 --> 00:03:39.459
which is the extra spacing before and
after each paragraph.

00:03:39.459 --> 00:03:45.230
So I'm going to change the spacing after to
12

00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:48.900
points.

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:50.890
This has spread out the lines a little bit,
and

00:03:50.890 --> 00:03:52.970
you can also see that the paragraphs are farther

00:03:52.970 --> 00:03:55.239
apart now, which is going to make it easier
for

00:03:55.239 --> 00:03:58.190
the audience to read the text.

00:03:58.190 --> 00:04:00.319
So the indents and line spacing can really
make

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.599
the difference between a presentation that
looks

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:09.599
pretty good and one that looks polished and
professional.
