The Ruler can be used to adjust indentations (margins). The Indentation Markers (triangles) represent
the left and right indents of the paragraph containing the insertion point, or the first paragraph of a
selection. The Indentation Markers can be clicked and dragged to a new position, which changes the
margins for the current paragraph or all paragraphs in a selection.
To use the Indentation Markers in the Ruler to change the margins for a paragraph, overriding the
element defaults:
1. Place the insertion point in any paragraph (the example below uses Action).
2. Click and drag either the left or right marker and drag it to the left or right until positioned
appropriately. For example:
MARKER MOVED
INDENT CHANGED
The paragraph retains its connection to the Element it belongs to (Action, Dialogue, etc.), but the margins will change to those set manually.
As with most word processors, the left marker also contains the ability to set both the indent for the
first line of text, and a separate indent for the text in the rest of the paragraph. For example:
TOP MARKER MOVED
FIRST LINE INDENTED
