Default Paragraph and sentence spacing

I have Office Home and Student 2007. I'm trying to write a short story and
each new paragraph must be indented, so I hit ENTER, but when I'm writing
text that uses wrap around it still indents the continuing line. I've
reviewed my info on paragrph formating but i can't figure it out. It's very
frustrating. Any suggestions alppreciated. 4hal

Default Paragraph and sentence spacing

Click in front of the line that you want to indent.
On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher, and then
click the Indents and Spacing tab.


In the Special list under Indentation, click First line, and then in the By
box, set the amount of space that you want the first line to be indented.
Note The first line of the paragraph and all subsequent paragraphs that
you type will be indented. However, any paragraphs before the selected
paragraph must be manually indented by using the same procedure.
