Editing indent margins in BookSmart

I am making a B&W Text book, and I find that when I indent my text it is indented too far along the page. I was wondering how you can edit this so that it will only indent a certain amount, instead of about a third of the page (which is what’s happening with me).

Any and all help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Elijah Teitelbaum

I found I had to use spaces, counting the same each time. Oh yes, it WAS very tedious! I hope they fix it!

I have the same problem……only two years later than last post on subject. Has Blurb fixed the paragraph opening indentation limitation?

Hi tma1026book,

Since this post we have introduced PDF to Book, which allows for much greater control over text. If you find the tab spacing within BookSmart too large you may want to consider this alternative workflow for greater customizability.
