Indent first line of Paragraph

I looked but could not find how to do this.
I want to indent the first line of each paragraph in a section. I currently have a text box inside a layout grid with 5 paragraphs. How is this done?
I copied my text to Word, did the indent, then pasted it back to web builder and that seems to work. I wanted to see if this was possible within the web builder editor.

Maybe this...
If memory serves me this was added in WB15 read from Text
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=85285&p=426380
Added Paragraph properties for indent, space before/after.

Thanks, Bacon.
I had tried that. The start indent in the dialogue box indents the entire paragraph. The offset indents all lines after the first line.
I don't think I ever indent the first line of a paragraph but a client wants her text sections formated that way.

Ok try one of the following (non break space) to indent or   to force a space at the start. To be able to use and not show in Preview or after publishing go to Text properties General-->Advanced and check ( tick) Do not encoded HTML characters ( for advanced users only). You can also try using   to create two spaces or   to create four.

You could add some CSS:
Code: Select all
<style>
#ID p {text-indent: 12px;}
</style>
If you are not using 'p', then change it to just the ID (or use a class if there is one assigned).
