Indent
When referring to text, indent is the process of moving the beginning of a sentence or paragraph inward. In many programs an indent can be easily created by pressing the tab key on the keyboard. A typical indent is five spaces from the left-hand or right-hand of the page.
This is an example of indented text.
To create an indented paragraph in a word processor such as Microsoft Word, you'd press the tab key once or for programs that don't support the tab key press the space key five times.
