You can indent an entire paragraph, just the first line of a paragraph, or all lines except the first (first line indent).

Setting intervals

Line spacing

Line spacing determines the vertical distance between lines of text in a paragraph. The interval size is usually set by the number of lines. Thus, the amount of line spacing depends on the size of the selected font.

To set the interval value, you usually use the button Line spacing groups Paragraph tabs home.

Rice. 7.10. Setting line spacing using the Indents and Spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog box

Line spacing can be set by the number of lines: Single, 1.5 lines, Double, Multiplier. When setting the mode Factor in the counter meaning you should specify the number of lines of the interval (the number of lines can be set with an accuracy of 0.01 lines). In all these cases, the amount of line spacing depends on the size of the selected font. For example, with a font size of 14 pt. The single spacing is also 14 pt (≈ 4.94 mm), the one-and-a-half spacing is 21 pt (≈ 7.4 mm), and with a multiplier of 0.98 is 13.72 pt (≈ 4.84 mm). Setting the spacing can be used to adjust the document size to the specified page parameters. For example, on a sheet of A4 paper with a top and bottom margin of 2 cm, 52 lines of text in 12 pt font can fit. single spaced. By setting the spacing to 0.97 lines, the same page can accommodate 54 lines. In this case, the difference in the spacing between lines will be only approximately 0.13 mm, which will have virtually no effect on appearance document.

When setting the interval Exactly in the counter meaning you must specify the interval value. By default, the value is specified in points (pt) with an accuracy of 0.05 pt, but, if desired, the value can be specified in centimeters or millimeters. To do this, enter a number in the counter field followed by a space - the abbreviation cm or mm- For example, 1 cm or 15 mm. This spacing will remain constant as the font size changes and is used, for example, when preparing documents for printing on lined paper.

When setting the interval Minimum in the counter meaning you should specify the minimum acceptable interval value. By default, the value is indicated in points, but, if desired, you can specify it in centimeters or millimeters. To do this, enter a number in the counter field followed by a space - the abbreviation cm or mm, For example, 1 cm or 15 mm. This means that for fonts of the specified size and smaller the spacing will be set to exactly this value, and for larger fonts the spacing will be single.

Spacing between paragraphs

The spacing between paragraphs can be greater than the spacing between lines in paragraphs. Increasing the spacing makes the text easier to read. Especially often, increased spacing after a paragraph is used when designing headings.

By default, when creating a new document, regular text is set to 10 pt paragraph spacing. Extended spacing is also defined for headings.

To do this, enter a number in the counter field followed by a space - the abbreviation cm or mm, For example, 1 cm or 15 mm.

Pedagogical speech science. Dictionary-Directory

Paragraph

(German Absatz - ledge) - a unit of text, which is, as a rule, a unity of thematically united sentences, one of which indicates the topic or main idea of ​​A. The presence of a thematic or conceptual sentence in each A. is important for both the writer and the reader. Such a sentence allows the writer or speaker to clearly define the topic (see:) and strictly adhere to it when developing it in other sentences, and it helps the reader or listener to identify the subject of speech and keep it in memory until it is replaced by another subject of speech.

When we write, we must begin each A, slightly retreating from the main line from which the lines begin. This draws the reader in and shows him that there is a transition from one idea or topic to another.

A correctly constructed A. must satisfy the following requirements:

1. In A. only one topic should be presented. It should include everything that is necessary to develop the topic outlined in the topic sentence and should not contain anything that is not related to that topic.

IN literary texts topic A. can be expressed not in one, but in several sentences. If A. does not have “its own” thematic sentence, this means that it is a “provider” of a topic or idea reflected in the previous part of the text.

2. The arrangement of sentences within A. must be thoughtful. The connection of each sentence with A’s topic sentence should be clear to the reader, and each sentence should prepare the reader for the perception of the next sentence.

Sentences within A. should be arranged in such a way that the most important sentence is highlighted. The beginning and end of A. in to the greatest extent are able to emphasize the expressed idea. Therefore, one should strive to express main idea at the beginning or end of A.

Paragraph

Paragraph

PARAGRAPH - a piece of written speech between two red lines. A., denoting a kind of “caesura” (see), is a unit of division, intermediate between a phrase and a chapter, and serves to group homogeneous units of presentation, exhausting some of its moments (thematic, plot, etc.). Isolating a phrase into a special A. strengthens the semantic emphasis falling on it. A. is a little-studied component of literary form that has compositional, plot-thematic, and rhythmic significance and is associated with the style of the author. Characteristic, for example, are short essays in impressionistic prose - symptoms of fragmentation, aphoristic thought; or eg. a return to the long A. of several pages by M. Proust (see), associated with the Sternian, so-called. the “spiral-like cyclicity” of his presentation. A. Bely’s A. is especially expressive (see), who singles out even individual parts of a phrase into special A., thereby emphasizing the thematic significance and rhythmic development of the highlighted parts.

Paragraph

(German absatz), a piece of text highlighted graphically - indented. Division into paragraphs reveals the structure of the text: a paragraph constitutes a step in its construction, a portion of meaning, and reading “paragraph by paragraph” helps to perceive the text. A paragraph is also the name given to the indentation in the text, otherwise the red line (expressions from the paragraph/from the red line).

Paragraph

PARAGRAPH- V original meaning its - the same as Red line. But A. also means a fragment of written speech concluded between red lines. A paragraph can be viewed from two points of view: 1) descriptive expediency, 2) poetic expediency. The descriptive expediency of a paragraph is that it gives a book or manuscript a more aesthetic appearance, introducing some variety into the monotonous pattern of parallel lines; Moreover, a paragraph makes reading easier for the eye, giving it some reason to rest and helping it follow the lines. These properties of the paragraph serve indirectly the purposes of poetic influence, as can be argued about other external features books or manuscripts. But the paragraph also has an immediate poetic purpose: it can be considered as literary device. It reflects the artist's intention to highlight externally V special group certain parts of the work, it makes distinct groupings of emotions, ideas, images. Groupings of images in a paragraph are made both according to their static connection and dynamic connection: thus, the characterization of the character, description of the area, etc., establishing a static connection between paragraphs, usually require red line; similar red line a significant turn in the development of the plot is separated, a new moment in the novel or story, where events are presented primarily in their dynamic connection. Where the author’s reasoning and the thoughts of the characters are conveyed, the paragraph emphasizes logical connection between ideas. A paragraph reflects the nature of the connection between emotions in a lyric work or passage. Since the use of a paragraph is not provided for by any strictly established rules, the author’s artistic intention is also manifested in its ordinary use, and here its application is largely subjective. The only practically established limitation in this area requires that the beginning and end of the paragraph not fall in the middle of the phrase. The artistic possibilities of a paragraph, however, are most revealed when it breaks the established tradition. Andrei Bely's unexpected paragraphs add a special nervous tension to his artistic prose. Unusually short paragraphs in a newspaper feuilleton or editorial make the speech abrupt, creating the impression of laconicism and special significance. The expressive side of a paragraph is even more clear when the artist establishes an internal relationship between words that does not coincide with the external relationship. Thus, Andrei Bely separates with a red line the words enclosed in brackets and explaining the previous phrase, because for him these words have a completely independent subjective meaning. Some paragraphs by Andrei Bely break the phrase itself, not even coinciding with the grammatical structure, and even more so highlighting the subjective meaning for A. Bely individual parts. In poetic speech, a paragraph coincides with a stanza. But a stanza, due to the usually short length of a poetic line - much smaller than a prose paragraph - serves typographical purposes. A stanza can be of any size, but in poetic practice there is a preferential use of some of its favorite types (see the word stanza ); Along with this, in almost every poetic work we observe strophic uniformity (however, deviations are possible here, an example of which is Byron’s poems, where each stanza is arbitrary in size). Its rhythmic meaning clearly emerges in the stanza. In a prose paragraph, the rhythmic meaning is not so emphasized, but just as undeniable. A very clear rhythmic feature here is the pause separating one paragraph from the next. The fact that the theory of the rhythm of artistic prose has not yet been sufficiently developed makes the study of the paragraph difficult. We feel the difference between Gogol’s paragraph and L. Tolstoy’s paragraph, the similarity between Pushkin’s and Kuzmin’s paragraphs, but verifying this impression using objective indicators would be difficult. It would not be advisable to determine the size of a paragraph by the number of phrases included in it, firstly, because the paragraph does not always coincide with the phrase (an example of which is the paragraph of Andrei Bely), and secondly, because the phrase itself is not sufficiently defined measure (L. Tolstoy’s phrase, for example, is longer and more complex than Pushkin’s phrase). The paragraph, as an artistic device, has not been studied at all. The problem is posed in the book by Mikhail Lopatin (“An experience of introduction to the theory of prose. Pushkin’s Stories.” “Omphalos” 1918, 2nd ed., Petrograd - Odessa). The author clarifies the logical role of the paragraph, seeing its significance in the fact that it highlights the main ideas and thereby facilitates the perception of thought.
