Let's create two macros that will help you format documents. The first macro will set the Ruler to produce a hanging paragraph. The second macro will return the Ruler to the default paragraph format.
Follow these steps to create a "hanging paragraph macro":
1. Select "New" from ClarisWorks' File Menu and indicate that you want to create a new word processor document.
2. Issue a Command-Shift-J or go to the Macro Menu and select "Record Macro" to indicate that you want to create a new macro.
3. Define the macro key as Option-Command-h and name the macro "Hanging Paragraph".
4. Put the pointer on the Left Indent Marker (the right-facing triangle at the one-inch mark) in the Ruler at the top of the screen.
5. Hold down the Option Key, then click and drag the Left Indent Marker to the 1-1/4-inch mark on the Ruler.
6. Stop recording the macro by issuing a Command-Shift-J or by selecting "Macros" from the File Menu and "Stop Recording" from the Macros Menu.
Test the macro by creating a new word processor document and issuing an Option-Command-h. ClarisWorks will reset the Ruler to accommodate an indented paragraph.
Now repeat the steps above and create a macro that resets the Left Indent Marker back to the one-inch position on the Ruler. Assign this macro to Option-Command-u ("Un-indent"). (You must hold down the Option Key to move the Left Indent Marker.)
