Applies to: TextSelection object
Indents text.
Syntax
object.Indent
Parameters
object
An expression that evaluates to a TextSelection object.
Remarks
The Indent method has the same effect as pressing the TAB key.
This method indents by the number specified in the IndentSize property. The indent can consist of multiple tab characters, depending on the values of the TabSize property and IndentSize property.
Caution If text is selected, the Indent method deletes the selection.
You can insert a tab by using the vbTab string constant. Consider the following code:
Dim Sel
Sel=ActiveDocument.Selection
Sel=vbTab
Alternatively, you could use the TextSelection object's Text property, which is the default:
Sel.Text=vbTab
Example
The following example inserts one indent at the insertion point:
ActiveDocument.Selection.Indent
