  Hi
  

  
  I have this code
  

  
  H4 { font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; color: black; text-indent: 0.5cm;}
  

  
  but it will only indent the first line of text which is within <H4> </H4>, so how do i make it move all the text within an H4 tag in 0.5cm from the side of my page?
  

  
  thanks

  The best advice I can give you is to use the <BlockQuote> tag.

  Well I should say it worked for me. I am using Internet Explorer 6, so I don't know how any other version might handle this.
  

  
  <h4>
  <div style="text-indent:0.5cm">This</div>
  <div style="text-indent:0.5cm">is</div>
  <div style="text-indent:0.5cm">some</div>
  <div style="text-indent:0.5cm">text</div>
  </h4>

  I can't remember which is the correct one, but try using margin-left or padding-left instead of text-indent.
  

  
  you could also have a look at www.w3schools.com.  That where i look for all my html answers.
