These markers can be dragged to the right to cause different things to happen within a paragraph. Near the left end of the ruler you will see two tiny pyramid-shaped markers, with one of them inverted on top of the other. Well, the “Tab Markers” on Word’s horizontal ruler can be adjusted to make pressing the TAB key unnecessary. Traditionally, this has been done by pressing the keyboard’s TAB key at the beginning of each paragraph.

To make the settings match older Word versions, do this: Under “Home” click on “View>Change Styles.” Next click on “Style Set>Word 2003.” Then click “Change Styles” again.įinally, click “Set as Default.” Now your current and all future Word documents will have traditional line spacing and will again require you to press ENTER twice to put a blank line between paragraphs.Ī lot of Microsoft Word users like to begin each new paragraph with a half-inch indentation.

However, this just fixes the current document.
