Default indent size?

I am using Excel 2003 on a Windows 2000 machine.

I am having problems when we indent subheadings in Excel. We place our
subheadings in the leftmost column of our excel sheets. To set the
indentation in our subheadings we use the increase indent, and decrease
indent buttons in the menu bar.

We would like to know how much space is indented for each click of the
indent button in the menu bar.
Is this amount of indentation dependent on the font in the cell being
indented. My specific problem is that I am trying to set up the
indents to 2en, 3en, and 5en spaces using the Courier New font. Is
there any way to set up the indent button to do this?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Can't answer everything, but the indent is both font and font size
independent, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the size. So I
don't think you'll be able to do exactly what you are wanting.
