Indent Property

C# Signature:

VB.NET Signature:

Description:

Sets or returns the indent in twips for a specified location. One twip = (1/20 pt) or (1/1440 in). If the location is Left, the indent is the space between the left edge of the paragraph and the left margin. If the location is specified as Right, the indent is the space between the right edge of the paragraph and the right margin. If the location is FirstLine, the indent is the space between the start of the first line and the left margin.

All indents can be negative, which means that the paragraph boundaries can be stretched into the margins or even off of the page.
