Default How do I insert a hard tab?

Ctrl+Shift+M will remove the indent. But you'd be much better advised to use
specific styles for these paragraphs.

Rae,
That works if I just want to set an indent, but I want to set a hard tab
that goes away when I do a return to start a new paragraph. It looks like
I'll just have to do a few more keystokes while I'm formatting my

documents...
Thank you for your quick response.

If you are wanting to inset text, there are various ways to do this. One

is
to use the Format | Paragraph menu and select the amount of the inset.

There
are also buttons on the ruler to indent and decrease indent. If you want

a
keyboard method, hold down the Ctrl key and strike the M key (you can do

this
more than once for larger indents). Does this help?
