How to turn off automatic indent?
In Word 2000, I'm formatting a long document that I downloaded from a
government site. Occasionally, Word insists on indenting a paragraph that I don't want indented. I've tried everything I can think of, but can't turn this off. Can anyone help, please? |

Hi nharrold,
Check what 'Style' definition is applied to the paragraph & make sure you use one that isn't indented. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "nharrold" wrote in message ...

How to turn off automatic indent?
Took me awhile to find that style definition, but it turned out to be
"normal" and the preview example didn't show any indentation of the paragraph. I forgot to mention that the document I downloaded was a .pdf document that I copied from Foxit.com to Word, a screen image at a time. Might that be contributing to the "spontaneous WORD formatting"?

Hi nharrold,
Well, if you're copying & pasting from a pdf, Word has to work with whatever pasting from the pdf formatting delivers. Copy & pasting from pdfs is a rather different proposition from the problem description you gave in your original post. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "nharrold" wrote in message ...

Oddly enough, the paragraph in question was just one in a string of paragraphs in the original document, none of which were indented therein. It's just this one paragraph that Word seems to be treating oddly. Foxit won't let me select the entire document; "select all" is not an edit option. So I had to select it one screen shot at a time. Really tedious. |
