One of the most useful toggle buttons in Word is this one.

The strange character that is the same as that on the button shows where a paragraph ends. You have pressed the Return key at that point.
Tabs are shown as a right-facing arrow.
Spaces are represented by a dot, that can look a little (a lot, let's be honest!) like a decimal point.
All these symbols disappear from the screen if you click the button again.
Ok so let's have a look at a document where the author wanted to indent text but didn't know the Word tool for doing it. The tab key has been used instead to indent the text but now this needs doing on every single line - using our button we can see the tabs as right-arrows.

Let's start by removing all the tabs so the paragraph is not indented at all.


Note that the button just to the left of the one I have pointed to does exactly the opposite - it will remove one level of indentation.
Clicking the button I am pointing to indents the entire paragraph - all lines - by one tab stop. You can click it more than once to indent the text further.
Clicking it once will make the text look like this:

Instead Word has changed the properties of the paragraph to indent by a specified amount from the left margin.
We can see this if we look at the paragraph's properties. The easiest way to do this is place the mouse over the paragraph, then right-click and choose the option Paragraph.

Happy indenting!
