Word Help
My google-fu faileth me.
I have a paragraph in a word document. I’m using a fixed width font. I want a hanging indent that indents by a certain number of characters. But when I check the format dialog box, it gives me the option to change my hanging indent in inches. I tried typing in 23px and that worked; word just converted it to inches. But when I do, for instance, 5 ch (expecting the indent to be 5 characters) I get weird results; the indent goes to over 7 characters and is not lined up with the previous lines.
WTF is the magic suffix so I can indent by characters?
For now I’m just hacking it with spaces and the like, but it’s super annoying.

there isn’t a magic sufix, however its really easy to do by simply using the indent slider thing at the top and just moving it until your indent is in the place you want. after that you can look at your setting and see the magic number coverted into inches for you

But will that do an indent for all paragraphs or just the current one?
I suppose I can check myself.

Hmm, that worked Corey. I just put the cursor on the paragraph I wanted the hanging indent to modify.

if you want to do more than one paragraph at a time just highlight them all
