  I am trying to post a reference page for a class. I can not get the indents where I need them. How do I get the second and third lines to indent without moving the entire paragraph?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  Within a single paragraph, it’s not possible to indent the lines separately. However, you can surely indent two paragraphs separately.

  Let me know if you need any further help.

  Hi @vsparkle,

  archanasolanki is correct. Using the visual editor, you will need to make a paragraph where you’d like to place an indent. Click on the area right before the text you wish to indent and hit enter/return. This will create a new paragraph. Once you have the text on a new line, the increase indent icon will allow you to create the different level of indents. It should look like this, http://d.pr/v/bK9As8.

  You’ll notice that there are a decent amount of white space on the top and bottom of the line of text, this is because the system generated a new paragraph for each line and there are some preset padding for the paragraph. If you’re looking to compress the white space between the two lines, we will need to jump into the HTML editor and change a few simple code. You can change the paragraph tag to div tag.
  <p style="padding-left:120px;">TEXT</p>
<div style="padding-left:120px;">TEXT</div>
  I created a small animation to show you how you can do this. Let me know if you need any assistance.
