I would advise against modifying Normal style because most other styles are
based on it and will be affected (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...sCascade.html). Instead, find
and use the built-in Body Text First Indent style, which has a default
first-line indent of 0.15". This can be modified to 0.13". The built-in
style also has 6 points Spacing After, but this can be removed if desired.

Presumably you don't use styles and everything you type is in normal
style. Modify Normal Style to include the indent but make sure to check
the option for all document based on this template. When you close Word,
you will be prompted to save changes to the global template.

Using Word 2007.
I like to format my paragraphs with the first line indented by 0.13. I
know how to do this through Format/paragraph but now I have to do that
everytime I start a new document.
Is there a way to make this a default "style" I can have automatically
for any new document?
Thank you, Jeff
