Step 3

Go to the "Indentation" box in the second section from the top, and hit the drop-down arrow in the "Special" column (the left option in the red box in caption), and choose "First Line." Then click the drop-down arrow in the "By" column and choose how much indent you wish the document to have--standard is 0.5. Then, click “OK” (located in the green box in caption) and your document will auto-indent by half an inch at the start of every new paragraph.
