Suzanne's description is actually the same as your's, with one difference the
setup takes place directly in the ruler as oppose to the dialog box. So, the
answer to your question is NO, I did not succeded.
Is there any other way or this feature was not invented yet by MS Word.
Thank you,

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,

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,

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 €śAutoFormat
as You Type€ť tab, turn off €śSet left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces€ť. 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 €śreal€ť 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,
