Turning off automatic paragraph indent Word 2007
Can someone PLEASE tell me were to turn off this ridiculous function whereby
if you want to indent the second line of a paragraph, THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH IS MOVED? Presumably the person who coded this in as default behaviour does NOT use Word..... |

Turning off automatic paragraph indent Word 2007
Word Options Proofing Autocorrect Options Autoformat as you type
Uncheck 'Set left- and first- indent with tabs and backspaces. Word has always had these options set by default but as with any other option you can choose to switch them off. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gordon wrote: Can someone PLEASE tell me were to turn off this ridiculous function whereby if you want to indent the second line of a paragraph, THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH IS MOVED?

Turning off automatic paragraph indent Word 2007
Instead of using the tab key, use Ctrl+T (note Ctrl+Shift+T will undo the
command). -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Gordon" wrote in message ...

Thanks - I knew where to turn this off in 2003, but couldn't find it in 2007! Word has always had these options set by default but as with any other option you can choose to switch them off. Precisely - IMHO these advanced options should be turned OFF by default - so simple users like me don't pull their hair out in exasperation, but advanced users can turn them ON if they want. |

I believe the thinking is that if the functions are not turned on, users will not know they exist. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
