Hi I have the following mention code which sets the indent level for second paragraph . I have two issues with this code.

1. On selecting more than one paragraphs the indentation will work only on Last paragraph Selected.
2. The margin could not be set with this code . As I want "before text 1.2" and "Special Hanging by 0.46 cm" to be incorporated


Code:
Sub selectedLevel()
Dim otr2 As TextRange2
     ' assumes the placeholder is selected
    Set otr2 = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(GetPara)
    With otr2.ParagraphFormat
        .IndentLevel = 2
       With oshp.TextFrame.Ruler
.Levels(1).FirstMargin = 10
.Levels(1).LeftMargin = 15
End With


    End With
End Sub

Function GetPara() As Long
   Dim lngStart As Long
   Dim oshp As Shape
   Dim L As Long
   On Error Resume Next
   lngStart = ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.Start
   If err.Number <> 0 Then
      Exit Function
   End If
   On Error GoTo 0
   Set oshp = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
   If (oshp.HasTextFrame) Then
      For L = 1 To oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs.Count
         If (oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(L).Start <= lngStart) And ((oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(L).Start + oshp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Paragraphs(L).Length - 1) >= lngStart) Then
            GetPara = L
            Exit Function
         End If
      Next L
   End If
End Function

Please help me in customizing this code and run the subroutine .

Thanks

Hi I have worked with my First question pertaining to Margin .

However when I select multiple paragraphs the subroutine doesn't give the results for all paragraphs. Only the code will run on the last paragraphs selected.


The code defined below provides the desired margin


Code:
