How does one indent a paragraph in a text capsule? Is this even possible to do?
I would love to know the answer! I have tried and could not. I have indented poetry weirdly though but this has been awhile back and I got it to fit in but it took a lot of effort and I could not tell you how. (It could have been that last kick I gave the keyboard!)
When you edit a text capsule there is a box about the center of the row up top which usually has the word "Formatted" in it. Click on this and you will see a list of words, go to the bottom and you will see "Preformatted". Click on this one. The paragraph is now indented - perhaps only about 2-3 letters - but it is indented. The next rows after will be 1 letter to the left of the first.
Thank you. I tried that but I'm not crazy over how it makes the text appear.
Susan, have you tried copy/paste from Word? I write all my posts in Word then copy and paste. I don't indent my paragraphs so I don't know if that'll work for you, but it's worth giving it a try.
I do that too, but it makes no difference. HP still moves it over.
Yes I have tried that but it doesn't work.
There is a "quote" option which I use, which indents it and slightly greys the text.
That puts quote marks before and after each first line. You can also use numbers and bullets if you want to have something in front if each paragraph. I believe that she just wanted to indent as normal.
Perfect WryLilt, Thank you so much. This works great!
I too would love to have a bit more indenting capabilities, or possibly a way to include some basic HTML tags. I just tried the Block Quote (I highlighted paragraph first, then clicked icon) and it worked, indented the paragraph without quotes! Yay!

Why can I no longer indent each new paragraph in the text capsules? I noticed this a while back-I went to do some editing on an older hub and when I saved the capsule, the indent was gone. This drives me crazy! I prefer the look of indented paragraphs because I think it makes the text look neater...

A very kind soul noticed a month ago that I need to learn how to break up my text with photos or something between the paragraphs when my text is long. She explained how to do it. I tried and couldn't grasp it. Then I misplaced or accidentally deleted her email -- so I haven't...

Hi,I wanted to put some more images in my hub. Every time I click photo, I'm able to upload the image but I can't put it where I want to. My question is how do I insert the image exactly where I want it?Thank you!Kathy Griffin

In the old days, the first text section we wrote would generally be a title-less introduction, certainly in my case, anyway. That was the way that I understood was the way to do it.However, in recent times, I've seen that an editor can often add a title to the first text section, even if it's...

How do I place an image into a paragraph of my article instead of separately, in between paragraphs? I used to be able to double-click on the image and it would set it that way.

I use the internet with Firefox. All other websites seem to load just fine, my internet connection is pretty fast, but Hubpages is getting increasingly slower for me. Also, the picture and text problem with not saving when working on a hub is still an issue. I add a picture, upload, put in a...
