FAQ
Can I set a first-line indent or other indent styles in a smart document?
- The current smart document workflow supports increasing indent and decreasing indent.
- If you need more specific indent styles, first check whether the current document type provides those formatting options.
- In this smart document scenario, the built-in indent controls are suitable for basic hierarchy adjustments.
Why does the indent change look small or unclear?
- Make sure the target paragraph is selected before you apply the change.
- Check whether the paragraph uses a heading, list, or another special style.
- If the style affects the display, adjust indentation first and then review the heading level or list format.
How do I keep multiple paragraphs at the same indent level?
- Enter editing mode and select all target paragraphs at one time.
- Open Alignment and Indentation.
- Tap Increase Indent or Decrease Indent so the selected content uses the same level.
Does WPS Indent require a membership?
- The indentation tasks covered in this guide are available directly.
