The result was that it found the beginning of the next paragraph and removed the 1 1/2 line spacing, but it didn't insert an indent. Now you can click "Replace all" to insert tabs at the beginning of all paragraphs where the first character is size 12. I like learning these things.Ĭode: Select all \t&This will replace the first character with a tab and reinsert the first character after the tab. I haven't used the font Liberation Serif anywhere in the original document, so I'm not sure why my document keeps wanting to go to that font. It did not put in a tab and it put the entire paragraph into Liberation Serif. I thought this was because I hadn't marked the tab, so I added the tab into the top ruler and retried the find and replace and it did the same thing as before. The effect was that when I hit "find next", it did not indent the paragraph but put the whole first paragraph into Liberation Serif, leaving it without the tab. I then entered ^(.) into the Find box and \t& into Replace. I followed the instructions to do this, changed the font to Times New Roman 12 under Format > Paragraph > Format and it says Times New Roman 12 pt under both the Find and Replace windows. So, hoping to click through one paragraph at a time, I tried the Find&Replace option to put in the indent as a tab, because this would allow me more control over which paragraphs are indented. I first tried out Format > Paragraph option and entered 5 pts for the first line, which works great, but it does change the entire document all at once. I have to change it all back to Times New Roman. I created a test piece with some pages from the long document that needs reformatting and when I copy anything out of the long text into a new Libre document, it turns from the font Times New Roman into Liberation Serif. You may have to hand edit Chapter Headers and title page, but at least you did not have to individually hand edit each text paragraph.īill and Rory! Thank you very much for your help! I'm making progress.
Also to (probably) be Justified (hint: Alignment tab) Adjust Text Body style to have an initial Indent (hint: see its Indents and Spacing tab). Choose Default in the Find line, Text body in the Replace line. Now turn all your paragraphs from (probably) Default paragraph style into Text Body paragraph style, by using F&Rĭrop more options and select Styles. (there may or may not be an intervening space - check in your document), and Replace %%%%, with More options unchecked, Replace all.ĭo this until it finds no more occurrences of multiple %%%%, then do the reinstate original text paragraphing as set out above. If you have (in the original text) multiple blank lines, before reinstating the original text paragraphing, use Find and Replace to Find %%%% %%%% Now reinstate the original text paragraphing:įind %%%%, Replace \n, More options, set Regular Expressions on, Replace all. Now convert the single line paragraphs to continuous text:įind $, Replace, More Options, set Regular expressions on, Replace all
More Options, set Regular Expressions on. If your text is formatted with a paragraph mark at the end of each text line, and a double paragraph mark at the end of each paragraph do this:įind ^$, Replace %%%% (or some similar token that does not occur in the document). However, I was not able to replace this empty line with a tab or indent, so each following paragraph would appear as an indented paragraph. What I can say about the following instructions is that using ^$ (a hat and a dollar sign), I was able to mark the empty line following each paragraph.
#Where is the first line indent in word 2013 how to
I originally wanted to do this with an overview of what I'm doing, and so asked how to do this with a simple find and replace of the paragraph character by the indent character.īelow is the answer I first got (and my question) which has been moved to this topic. I would like to do this mechanically so that I can control those places where I need the extra line break to stay there. What I'm trying to do is change the formatting of a book from paragraphs defined throughout by an extra line break following each paragraph, to one in which the paragraphs are defined by an indent and there is no extra empty line between all the extra paragraphs. This topic is a continuation of one that started in Beginnings called Libre and Open Office where it was inappropriately located:
