indentation won't "take"
Sometimes when using the indent sliders in the ruler, the adjustment does not
stick. The text doesn't indent and the slider just returns to its original position. However, it doesn't immediately bounce back. It hangs out where I drug it (though the text remains unaffected) until I perform any other operation. Then I have to reselect the text and do it again. The second time around, it works. This seems to mainly happen with the first-line slider. I've noticed this idiosyncrasy in previous versions of Word as well. Any ideas as to why this happens (and how to avoid it)? THANKS! |

I haven't experienced the problem, but use FormatParagraph instead. Or
better, define a Style and use that. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Well, clearly there are multiple ways to do just about everything. It's more
convenient for a custom situation to just use the ruler than to get to the dialogue box or create a style... My question is *why* does this one approach not work consistently (at least since Word 2K for sure and I think in 97 as well) ???
