Sorry Lene but I figure it out myself.

However, the hanging indent makes the rest of the document indented, and I
need only the second line. Is there a way of setting it up this way?

Thank you,
Sol

Thank you Lene for your prompt reply and huge help.

Indeed, this was the problem I followed your instructions, and BINGO it is
working. As per your concern: "why you want to indent the second line of a
paragraph with a tab", the answer is that I am using it for Hebrew font, and
in the hebrew-typing the correct and old fashion way to type is with an
indent in the second line. As per your idea to simplify the task, I did not
follow how to do it, can you please try to explain it to me again.

thank you again,
Sol

If I understand your description correctly, you need to turn off a specific
AutoCorrect option:

Select Office button Word Options Proofing category. Click the
AutoCorrect Options button (top right in the dialog box). On the €œAutoFormat
as You Type€� tab, turn off €œSet left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces€�. Click OK twice.

NB I dont know why you want to indent the second line of a paragraph with a
tab but I am wondering whether you use that method to create a hanging indent
of the paragraph. If that is the case, a better solution is to define the
paragraph style you are using so that it has a €œreal€� hanging indent. This
can be set up via the Paragraph dialog box.

I just switched from MS Office 2003 to 2007, and I have a question regarding
indentation. In 2003 I was able to indent the second line in a paragraph
without a problem, however, with 2007 when I try to indet the second line the
whole paragraph indents. Any help?
Thank you,
