Question:

Indentations!!? Help!!? 10 POINTS STRAIGHT AWAY!?

Hi , I'm writing a novel and Ive checked loads of websites but it doesn't help with my question.

I use Microsoft word and under format. It says ;

Indentations and how many centimetres each one should be and it requires you to fill that in!

But I dont have a clue how many it should be regarding the way a novel is set out!

It goes like this ;

Left ----- cm
right ----- cm
first line ----- cm

Can anyone tell me how many centimetres (only) they should be?

Please help! Im so confused and I can't go much further until I get this right!

I'm not much help with this, other than to suggest you get one of those Writers Market books and check their advice or contact a publisher and see what they prefer.

Good luck with your writing--I hope you can get back to it.
