Common questions about increase or decrease indent in WPS on iOS usually involve where to find the controls, how indent differs from lists, and why the result may look subtle; this section covers 3 common questions.

FAQ

Why can’t I find the Increase Indent or Decrease Indent button?

1. Make sure you opened an editable document in WPS on iOS.
2. Select a paragraph or a section of text first.
3. Tap Tools on the bottom toolbar, then open the Home tab to look for the indent controls.
4. If the controls still do not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the document.

What is the difference between indent and bullets?

1. Indent only changes the horizontal position of a paragraph.
2. Bullets add visible markers and create a list style.
3. If you only want to change text hierarchy, use indent.
4. If you want a list structure, combine indent with bullets or numbering.

Why does Decrease Indent not seem to change much?

1. Check whether the paragraph is already close to the default left margin.
2. If the current indent level is already low, the visible change may be small.
3. You can first increase the indent once and then decrease it to compare the result.
4. Review the full paragraph layout to confirm whether the formatting matches your goal.
