Default Text-wrapping

Help! I am creating a test. I type in "#1", hit indent then type the T for
true and the F for false. I then tab to begin typing the question. How do I
get the text to align itself with the paragraph and not wrap the next line
and place the text under the #1? Here is my example:

1. T F This is where I begin typing my question. I would like
the text to
wrap around and line up like this but instead it keep
wrapping and going back to the margin like this sentence.

How can I solve the problem without having to manually space. I have tried
setting tabs, etc. but it just messes with my numbering.

Your paragraph formatting needs to have a "hanging indent" (at the Paragraph
menu, you can select "hanging" under the word "Special"). Your paragraph will
also need to have two tab stops for T & F. You can also make this paragraph
format into a Style.
