Hi JD;
Here are a couple of observations...
The "toolbar on the right" is called the Toolbox. It displays several
different Palettes, one of which is the Formatting Palette which contains
the Styles group. You're headed in the right direction
You could also
use Format> Style to get where you need to go.
Word does not include any built-in styles by those names. Apparently they
were created by another user... Is this a document you received from someone
else? Regardless, you have the option of modifying those styles or creating
new ones... If you choose to create new ones you simply need to use
different names unless you delete the existing styles first. Keep in mind
that if you modify or delete the existing styles any content to which
they've already been applied will be reformatted accordingly.
Next, as John suggested *forget* the term 'margin' -- that is not what you
want to change. Altering margins within a document requires the use of
Section Breaks which is overkill for what you want to do. It also weakens
the document structure if you repeatedly do so within the document. What you
want to set is Left/Right 'Indentation'. The Modify dialog window, itself,
only provides a few formatting options. You need to go deeper...
In the dialog for creating a new style or modifying an existing style click
the Format button in the lower left corner & select Paragraph. The settings
you need to modify will be on the Indents & Spacing page. Enter the values
for the amount of indentation from the margin you want the style to apply.
