That's it.

In Word, each formatting property is associated with some level of
detail (from largest to smallest, the levels are document, section,
paragraph, sentence, word, and character). Indenting is a
paragraph-level property. You can tell Word to indent the first line
of a paragraph differently than the other lines, but that's the limit
of the flexibility.

Thus, to indent some selection of lines that aren't either a full
paragraph or the first line of a paragraph, you need to use the
wrapping capabilities of some drawing object. It could be an AutoShape
(rectangle or any other shape), a text box, a frame, or a table with
text wrapping turned on. Any of these can be made invisible by setting
the line color appropriately.

Okay, is it possible in some way to specify the size of the drawing object
in a dialog or similar, rather than having to compare it up against the
ruler on the screen in Word? Which drawing object should I use?
