Public Function DecreaseIndent() As Boolean

Return Value

The following example formats the heading of a short document by using Selection.DecreaseIndent.

textControl.Text = "Quarterly results\nRevenue increased by 12%.";
textControl.Select(0, 17);
Selection selection = textControl.Selection;

if (selection.DecreaseIndent())
{
    Console.WriteLine("Decrease Indent completed successfully.");
}

textControl.Text = "Quarterly results" & vbCrLf & "Revenue increased by 12%."
textControl.Select(0, 17)
Dim selection As Selection = textControl.Selection

If selection.DecreaseIndent() Then
    Console.WriteLine("Decrease Indent completed successfully.")
End If
