temporarily over-ride 1st. line indent
I format my memo's with a 'first line indent of 0.5'
How can I temporarily over-ride this first line indent for (say) one para ? If I use 'left delete', to start typing from the left edge, 'Word' removes the indent marker and I have to set up 'Format' again for subsequent para's. Regards Crinkly Reg. |

The *best* way is to use two different styles, one indented and one not. But
if you can't drag the first-line indent back for a single paragraph without affecting others, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm. Note, however, that whatever you do in one paragraph will be carried forward to any that follow. If the first-line indent is part of the style, you can restore it by pressing Ctrl+Q (to reapply the style). If it's direct formatting, then you have no choice but to apply it again manually. -- Suzanne S.
