Paragraphing

• Classic Paragraphing• Business (Modern) Paragraphing

Classic Paragraphing

Classic paragraphing begins with a TABindentation, looking like this. You should notadd any spaces between paragraphs, you justneed to use a new TAB indent.

It should look something like this. Remember,use the TAB key, not the spacebar. If you usethe spacebar, it might become uneven. The TABKey always indents the same amount.

Modern ParagraphingModern paragraphing does not use anyindentation, so there’s no need to use the TABkey. Instead, you add a space betweenparagraphs.

It looks like this. You can choose either way ofparagraphing your writing. Just don’t do both! Anddon’t forget what you’ve learned about paragraphsin ARW!
