To indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch from the left margin, you can set the paragraph formatting to have a half-inch first line indent. This can typically be done in word-processing software like Microsoft Word by going to the "Paragraph" settings and adjusting the indentation options. Simply specify a 0.5-inch first line indent to achieve the desired formatting.
The page margin - is the limits to the left & right that text will be printed. A paragraph indent is a margin (left and right) further from the edges of the page - usually used to emphasise a piece of text.
Margin settings should NOT vary from paragraph to paragraph.
The margin is the boundary where text normally begins. From that point, if the text is moved to the right, it is indented. Sometimes, the beginning of a paragraph is indented in a letter or a book. This paragraph is an example of how the first line is indented and the rest of the lines of the paragraph begin at the left-hand margin. There is also a margin on the right-hand side of the page, not to mention the top and the bottom of the page also have margins. Indenting tends to highlight a line or an entire section of text may be indented to set it apart from the rest of the body of text.
Indentation is the pushing of a paragraph or the first line of a paragraph in from the margin, compared to the rest of the text.

It is true that you can right align a paragraph so that the text is flush with the right margin and has a jagged left edge. This is called a right-justified margin. A false statement would be that you have to select a whole paragraph in order to change the paragraph formatting.
A right-aligned paragraph uses a right margin it's left margin will be jagged. To make a right-align a paragraph, press Ctrl+R.

...a frame, a margin, a box.
First let us discuss in general what indention means. When one is writing text on to a computer or onto a piece of paper, one normally starts on the left hand side of the page and writes each line so that it begins set in the same amount from the edge of the page. This gap is called a 'margin'. A paragraph indentation will start a new paragraph with the margin for that paragraph shifted to the right of the line of the page margin. The indentation can be applied to all the lines of that paragraph (as I have done in this example) or just the first line. The above is an example of indentation of a paragraph.
The indent format in which all lines in the paragraph except the first line are indented from the left margin is known as a hanging indent.
