How do I create indents?Place the pointer in the paragraph you want to indent,
or select a range of paragraphs. For quick indenting, click the
Indent button in the
Paragraph toolbar.
When you want more control over the indent distance, or want
to create first-line or hanging indents, click the ruler tab to
open it. The two-part gray slider at the left end of the ruler controls
paragraph indentation.

To indent a paragraph, click in the lower
portion of the slider and drag to the desired location. Both parts
slide together.
|

|
To indent just the first line of a paragraph,
click the inset square in the gray slider and drag it separately.
|

|
To create a hanging indent, first drag the
lower part of the slider to move the whole slider to the desired
location. Then, drag just the top part back to the starting point.
(In a hanging indent, all lines in the paragraph are indented except
the first line.)

Tips for indenting table text:
To indent a paragraph, click in the lower portion of
the slider and drag to the desired location. Both parts slide together.
To indent just the first line of a paragraph, click the inset
square in the gray slider and drag it separately.
To create a hanging indent, first drag the lower part of

drag just the top part back to the starting point. (In a hanging
indent, all lines in the paragraph are indented except the first
line.)
How do I set tabs?To set a tab stop, click at that point in the ruler. To
change a tab stop to a different type (for example, a left tab stop
to a center), click the tab stop to select it. Then, click again
to display a menu for selecting Left, Center, or Right.
A new tab stop deletes any default tab stops to its left. To
move a tab stop, drag it to the new location on the ruler. The moved
tab stop applies to all selected paragraphs.
How do I change the spacing before or after a paragraph?Click the Paragraph toolbar icon to open the Paragraph
toolbar. Place the cursor in the paragraph whose spacing you want
to adjust. The toolbar has two numeric entry fields. Use the left
field (next to the up arrow) to add space above a paragraph. Use
the right field (next to the down arrow) to add space below a paragraph.
Paragraph spacing is measured in points. Enter a number in the left
or right field, then press Enter to change spacing.
Changes to paragraph spacing affect only the current paragraph.
To change spacing for multiple paragraphs, first select the paragraphs,
then change the spacing. If you press Enter to create new paragraphs,
the new paragraphs inherit the spacing of your current paragraph
(the paragraph where the cursor is).
I tried dragging the margins with the ruler, but they don’t get wider.Choose Document > Page Setup, then increase paper width
and height, or decrease page margins to create a larger page size.
How do I change measurement units on the ruler, tables, images, document margins, and other dimensions in Buzzword?Choose Buzzword > Settings & Preferences, and then
select Inches, Centimeters, or Points from the Units menu.
Why do I jump to the bottom of the page when I click an endnote?The endnote number acts like a hypertext link and takes
you to the endnote at the end of your document. Click the number
in the endnote to return to your original location.
How do I edit a link?To edit link text, Control-click the link and make any
necessary changes. To remove a link without deleting the text, Control-double-click
the link and click Remove Link.
How do I add fields that update automatically?Buzzword supports five field types:
Document Name
Document Author
Date Last Saved
Page Number
Number of Pages
The page number fields can only be inserted in headers and footers.
All other fields can be placed anywhere in a document. To insert
a field, choose Insert > Field > (field name).
You can combine two fields in a header or footer. For example,
combine text and page number fields to create a footer that reads
“Page 7 of 9.˝ To combine two fields, insert the page number field
and click in the header or footer where you inserted the field.
Then, type the word “of˝ and select Insert > Field > Number
Of Pages.
How do I align my document name and page number in my header?Insert the document name as your right-aligned header.
After the document name, type in the page number and page count
fields. The header replicates across all pages in the document.
How do I add a special character?To add a symbol, such as a copyright or accent mark, click
Insert > Special Characters.
Special characters can be any of the following:
Characters from non-English languages, such as the letter
”u˝ with an umlaut (ü), the acute accent over the letter “e” (é),
and so on. Currently, Buzzword does not provide characters from
non-Latin alphabets, such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, or Hebrew,
or from ideographic languages, such as Chinese.
Fractions and symbols, such as currency symbols.
Non-English punctuation and other punctuation that does not
appear on the keyboard, such as the em dash (—).
How do I remove the background color on highlighted text?Select the text containing the background color to remove.
Open the Font sliding toolbar. In the toolbar, click the arrow next
to the Background Color icon. In the upper-left corner, click the
None color swatch.
