Ampler gives one-click access to the paragraph menu and toggles paragraph marks on or off, so you can adjust spacing and check structure without hunting through the ribbon.
Quick answer: Click Paragraph Settings on the Ampler ribbon for quick access to the paragraph menu, and Show/hide ¶ to toggle paragraph marks.
How to use it
Open the paragraph menu, or toggle paragraph marks on and off.
- Click Paragraph Settings for quick access to the paragraph menu.
- Click Show/hide ¶ to toggle paragraph marks on or off.
Paragraph marks reveal the document’s structure — spaces, tabs, and paragraph breaks — so you can spot and fix spacing issues.
Keyboard shortcut
These functions have no default shortcut. To assign one, open the Settings dropdown on the Ampler ribbon, choose Shortcuts, click Modify on the function, and press your key combination.
Why use it
Reaching the paragraph dialog and the paragraph-marks toggle means digging through the Home tab each time. Ampler surfaces both, so you can adjust line and paragraph spacing and reveal the document’s hidden structure in one click.
How consultants use it
Clean, consistent paragraph spacing is part of a professional report, and paragraph marks are how you diagnose spacing problems. Three habits apply:
- Consistent paragraph spacing: line and paragraph settings are adjusted quickly and kept uniform.
- Reveal the structure: paragraph marks expose stray spaces, tabs, and breaks.
- Fix before it shows: spacing issues are caught with the marks on, then hidden again.
Quick access to paragraph settings and marks keeps a document’s spacing clean.
Tips & best practices
- Turn paragraph marks on when diagnosing odd spacing, then off to read.
- Use consistent paragraph spacing across the document.
- Watch for double spaces and stray tabs that the marks reveal.
