Indenting Paragraphs In Whole Doc.

[Kefalonia]

Hi. I'm using Word 2003, I know how to indent paragraphs in a document but I have about 50 documents that need it doing, and can only find info on how to indent a para at a time which will take forever. Anyone know how to apply it to a whole document? Thanks for any help.

You could create a Word Style / Template that is configured with the desired paragraph indent settings and then apply it to the documents.

There is some excellent info posted here on how to go about creating Styles and Templates:

open doc, select all Ctrl-A and set the indent globally for the whole doc
do for each doc.

Baz, yours sounds by far the simpler, except when I do Ctl A nothing seems to happen.

It should all highlight when you press Ctrl+A.
Make sure your cursor is at the beginning of the text.

Ah, I didn't want to select the title, but if I select the whole thing including the title and then Format Para I can't see global indent, just left, right, special. Where is the option for global? Sorry to be so dim!

In that case put your cursor from where you want the selection to start from, select, then holding down shift move cursor to where you want the selection to finish, and that will be highlighted

On the ruler at the top of the doc move the indent over to the right where you want it to be

ignore "select" in the second line
