Can't indent twice!
We are struggling with the changeover to Word 2000, made necessary
because with our new network software WordPerfect kept crashing. In creating legal documents it is important to keep manual control of numbering and lettering. This is because we are often quoting from the middle of other documents, and we often have to start with (say) subparagraph "r", skip to "t", and go on to sub-subparagraph (iii), etc. I see that to indent after a number or letter, you type the number or letter, hit TAB, then CTRL+T (hanging indent), and type. The text wraps around and you get an evenly indented paragraph after the letter number. For example: 2. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blha blha blha alah alhaal bla ha lh. 3. Blah lahg lha a blh ablh a blh blah blah blh alh l alh lha lha lah . etc. But this doesn't work if you want to indent twice. What I want is: 3. a. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah b. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah After hitting the TAB after "a.", I hit CTRL+T -- but then the "a" gets indented too. Further, only the first line indents twice -- the text then wraps back to the first indent. Hitting CTRL+M is even worse because the "3" gets indented as well. Making a doubly indented paragraph is a routine, everday task, and I assume the solution must be simple too. How do I get it to indent twice without indenting the number and letter too? |
