Default Indenting both left and right

Word 2003

I would like to indent a paragrah on both left and the right at the same
time like this:

Normal
text.........................................aaaaa a.................aaaaaaaa...............

Indented paragraph....................................Inden ted
Paragrah

Normal
Paragraph......................................... ....................Normal
Paragraph

How can I do this? I really don't want to have to change margins each
time....

Is there a way I could program a shortcut to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Default Indenting both left and right

The built-in style named Block Text has 1-inch indents on left and
right, so you could just apply that style
(http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...lyAStyle.html).

If you prefer different amounts of indenting, you can modify the Block
Text style (http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html),
or define another one for yourself.

You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the Block Text style or to
another style of your own
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToHotkey.htm).
