If I hold down the Alt key while I drag the right indent, which I need to do
to specify an indent between ruler ticks, it then becomes ungrabbable by the
mouse. When I try to select it or click on it, Word thinks I'm trying to
place a Tab stop. This means once I position the right margin, it's stuck
there forever.

If I don't use Alt for precise positioning, I don't have this problem. Is
there a solution or work around to this?

Thanks,
Colin

You can always specify a precise right indent through the Format | Paragraph
dialog. FWIW, however, I'm not seeing the problem here (Word 2003). What
happens if you press Alt while trying to select it?

Still can't select it. I'm also using Word 2003 with all the SP's installed.
I see it in the paragraph option though. Not sure how I missed that before.
I swear I looked!

Thanks,
Colin
