Below are three method of paragraphing commonly used in business.
- Blocked paragraph
- Indented paragraph
- Hanging paragraph
Blocked Paragraph:
When typing in a blocked paragraph, each line begins at the same point on the scale at the left margin.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
Dear Jason,
I’m writing to resign from my position as customer service representative, effective August 14, 2020.
I’ve recently decided to go back to school, and my program starts in early September. I’m tendering my resignation now so that I can be as helpful as possible to you during the transition.
I’ve truly enjoyed my time working with you and everyone else on our team at LMK. It’s rare to find a customer service role that offers as much opportunity to grow and learn, as well as such a positive, inspiring team of people to grow and learn with.
I’m particularly grateful for your guidance while I was considering furthering my education. Your support has meant so much to me.
Thanking you sir,
Edmond Von Diddles
Indented Paragraph:
When typing is indented style, the first line of each paragraph is started five spaces away from the left margin.

A4 paper is the best for typing
Hanging Paragraph is not the same as indented paragraph
