I have another question regarding something I don't think Word can do.

When writing poems, one needs to distinguish lines from stanzas. Currently,
I use line breaks for each line and paragraph breaks at the end of each
stanza. This allows me A) to have line numbering work proberly and B) to
control the spacing between stanzas and C) to keep stanzas together on a page.

The problem comes with long lines. (I am using columns.) If a line is too
long to fit in the column it will wrap like text from a prose paragraph. In
printed books of poetry in columns, a wrapping line usually indents the
wrapping portion of the line to distinguish it from a new line of poetry. I
know how to make a paragraph indent after the first line, but I need to be
able to have lines indent when wrapping. If I set indentation for the
paragraph, all the lines after the first indent in the stanza and not just
the ones wrapping due to length.

Moreover, a long line messes up line numbering.

Example:
What I want:

Blah blah blah blah,
Blah blah blah blah
blah.
Blah blah blah
4 Blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah,
8 Blah blah blah blah.

What it does:

Blah blah blah blah,
Blah blah blah blah
blah.
Blah blah blah
5 Blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah,
9 Blah blah blah blah.

Is there a solution to this problem?
