The difference between a tab and a first-line indent in Word

 A first-line indent in Word can be set by using the first-line indent marker. You’ll need to be sure to have your ruler displayed in order to view the marker. From the View tab, check the Ruler box, and you’ll see the First Line Indent marker:


Select the paragraphs for which you want the first lines to be indented. Then move the marker on the ruler to the point you want the indent. Each first line will now be indented to that point.



If you choose to use Tab, you'll place your insertion point in front of the text you want to move. The default space when selecting Tab is 0.5 inches.
