You missed the minus sign, you need to type C-u 999 C-x , rather than what you did. More information may be gleaned from finding out what C-x actually calls: /----[ C-h k C-x TAB ] | C-x TAB runs the command indent-rigidly | which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `indent'. | (indent-rigidly START END ARG) | | Indent all lines starting in the region sideways by ARG | columns. Called from a program, takes three arguments, START, | END and ARG. You can remove all indentation from a region by | giving a large negative ARG. \---- ^^^^^^^^ -- lawrence mitchell
