Changing Margins
Hello:
I am working with Word 2002 and my O/S is Windows XP. I have a document with one paragraph and I would like to change the margin for one of the line's. When I make the change for the one line all of the lines change. Is there any way I can change a right margin for just "one" line of the text in a paragraph? Lynne |

Lynne,
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Right indent is a setting which applies to a paragraph as a whole. Word doesn't really have any settings which apply to a single line only, and this makes sense because adding text to the paragraph can totally change the content of a line, so there's nothing discrete to apply a setting to. If you'll post a reply specifying why you want one of the lines to have a different right indent than the others, perhaps someone can suggest an alternate means of achieving your ultimate purpose. cjd "Lynne" wrote in message ...

Sometimes I have long hyperlinks or a date that needs to
stay on one line. When a hyperlink moves to the next line because of the margin, I am left with a large empty space. And when typing a date such as "July 9, 2004", all of it should appear on one line as well. Thanks for the reply Lynne -----Original Message----- Lynne, Unfortunately, the answer is no.

You can keep text (such as dates) together using nonbreaking spaces
(Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar). For hyperlinks there's really not much you can do except to break the link (*before* a punctuation mark such as a period, slash, or tilde). You can insert a no-width optional break rather than a space for this purpose; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NoWidthSpace.htm -- Suzanne S.

No, but you can have a first line indent that is positive or negative. You
can also use a manual line break (Shift-Enter) to end one line early. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Lynne

There's no easy solution to this one. A few possibilities: - Don't use justified text (and if you must, then only in conjunction with Tools | Options | Compatibility: "Justify like WordPerfect 6.x"). - Don't mention the hyperlink "inline", but for instance in a footnote. - Manually paginate and hyphenate your text carefully as to avoid large empty inter-word spaces (Word has no concept of this and hence the automatic hyphenation is useless here). 2cents ..bob -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
