I'm not sure I know what you mean by Page Layout and Indent; I either
apply a Style that has indentation in it, or move the little upper
triangle in the ruler.

I wonder whether you've accidentally used the "line return" (or whatever
they call it -- pressing Shift Return instead of Return at the end of a
paragraph -- because that doesn't create an actual new paragraph?

To check, turn on Show Non-Printing Characters (ctrl-shift-8, or the
paragraph mark icon on the View ribbon). If you see a right-angle
arrow instead of a paragraph mark, that's the problem. (You can
select it and type Return to fix it.)

Hi.. This has been driving me crazy as something has happened in Word
2007 which is stopping me doing what I have been doing for years.

For example if I want to indent a paragraph the indentation affects
several paragraphs above as well.

I place the cursor at the beginning of the desired paragraph to indent..
go to Page Layout as I have always done and then use 'Indent'

I cannot work out why this is also affecting a few paragraphs above as
well

This also happens if I want to add bullet points.. I select/highlight
the required text.. add the bullet points.. but bullet points are also
added to a few paragraphs above.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks
