Default How to set the left indent in a specific style.

I am setting up a document of Maths notes and I want to be able to refer to specific bits easily (and set up a table of contents) so I selected one of the preset styles (Elegant) but it automatically keeps indenting the text halfway across the page, how do I set it to a specific indent? Every time I move it back with the slider, as soon as I start a new line it is moving back to the centre.



How do I set it to a specific indent?


Thank-you for any help you can offer.

Set one line as Elegant and change the indents to suit.

Select the whole line and either;
  • If you are happy to overwrite the default style right click the style name in the gallery and select update Elegant to match selection. That changes the style permanently
  • If you don't want to overwrite the default style click the down arrow in the style gallery and select create a style and name it what you want

I believe that Elegant is a theme or style set, not a style.
