Indents

Types of indents used are left and right and hanging and/or a combination of both.  All are entered via the keyboard.

To remove indents that may be causing trouble, such as automatic lists or bulleting, use the key combination Alt Shift N to apply the Normal style to take everything back to the margin.

Except for Hanging Indent and Un Hang, the above indents will first introduce a paragraph followed by the indent.

All of the indent macros, bar Hanging Indent and Un Hang, use styles in the template, which can be used independently but will require a greater amount of keystrokes to archive the same thing.  Use use the styles to achieve the indents and not by, for example, adjusting the indents via the menu or ribbon and then applying italics.

Indent quote

All indent quotes are in 11 point and are italicised.

Quotations three lines and over are indented.  They, if they do not run on, are introduced with a colon.  Indented quotations are not contained within single or double quotation marks.

Use Alt 1 for an indent quote.  This will take the cursor over one line following after which the indent and italics are applied using the Quote style, which is part of the template.  Type the quote.  Use Alt 2 to take the cursor back to the margin in the numbered paragraph style (NumPara) if there is a new paragraph.  If the quote is part of the paragraph, use Alt 5 to take the cursor down a paragraph and apply the subparagraph style (SubPara), which prevents that paragraph being numbered when it is formatted by the judge or associate.

When further indents are required, after the indent quote has been applied, for example when setting out legislation, first, tab once followed by Alt T to move the hanging indent to the tab stop.  The text will automatically wrap to the hanging indent when going over to the next line.  To move an indent back out toward the margin use Ctrl Shift T.  Hanging indents are soft indents in that a paragraph return will return the cursor to the margin.  A manual line break will return to cursor to the hanging indent.  Use Shift Enter to achieve this (a manual line break).

In the above example the final tab in each line where tabs exist is where the hanging indent is applied.  Default tab stops within an indent quote are located at intervals of 1 centimetre from the indent.  If, for example, four tabs are required to get to the point where the indent is to be applied an equal number of repetitions of the key combination Ctrl T should also be applied.

Question indent quote and Answer indent quote

Alt 3 for a question and Alt 4 for an answer of previous transcript.  Each macro will enter a paragraph followed by the Quote style.  Either the word "Question" or "Answer" followed by a tab space followed by a dash followed by a tab space, where a handing indent is then applied.  Use Alt 2, if it is a new paragraph, or Alt 5, if the paragraph runs on, to outdent to the margin.

Indent for speaker in quote

Use Alt 6.  Enters a paragraph followed by tab space followed by a hanging indent.  Cursor is returned to start of tab for speaker ID to be entered.  Use the arrow key or End Key after the speaker ID has been entered to place the cursor where the text will be entered to avoid entering further tab spaces.

If the speaker names exceed the length of the indent, use Alt 7 to enter a paragraph followed by an indent the from the indent quote of 1 centimetre.

Speaker macros, as per the transcript template, are not used when inputting speaker IDs in an indented quotation, as they will be taken back to the page margin.

Question indent quote ROI and Answer indent quote ROI

Use Alt 8 for a question and Alt 9 for an answer for a previous ROI.  Each macro will enter a paragraph followed by the Quote style.

When a question is entered a dialog prompting you to complete the number will be visible.  Fill in the number then, either use the tab key or the mouse, make the OK button active then press enter or click that button.  The cursor will then be place at the hanging indent.  Pressing the enter key while the text field is active will enter a paragraph rather than a confirmation.
