How is indentation different from Page Margin? Explain. What are the different types of indentation that can be used in a document? Write the steps to indent a paragraph in MS-Word application.

Margin = blank space between page edge and all text (e.g. 1 inch all sides, set once in Layout → Margins). Indentation = extra offset of specific paragraphs inside margins (e.g. first line pushed right).

Types of indentation (Paragraph → Indents):

1. Left/Right — Whole paragraph shifted (quote block).
2. First Line — Only first line in (new paragraph style).
3. Hanging — First line out, rest in (bibliography: NARC 2023...).
4. Mirror — Inside/outside for book printing.

Steps to indent in Word:

1. Select paragraph → Home → Paragraph launcher (or Layout → Indents).
2. Set Left/Right values (e.g. 0.5") or Special → First line/Hanging → By 0.5".
3. Alternatively drag triangles on ruler: top = first line, bottom = rest.
4. OK → check Print Preview. For thesis, set Styles → Normal → Modify so all paragraphs follow automatically.
