Hi Suzanne,

Used the Ruler approach as you suggested, and all is fine now.

Thanks again,
Bob

Well, all I can suggest, then, is that you use the hanging indent as
suggested; then your cursor will return to the left margin when you press
Enter (and will return to your indent when you press Shift+Enter). You can
set the hanging indent on the ruler (the easiest way, especially to get a
precise position) or use Ctrl+T (repeatedly if required) to put it where
you
want.

I'll also suggest that, if you don't have nonprinting characters
displayed, displaying them will give you a much better idea of what's
going on in your document.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks so much for time and help; appreciate it very much.

Really thought you had it pegged, but that isn't the answer.
Have no boxes checked in the auto format as you type page.

Any other thoughts ?

Guess at my age, in my 70's now, I should have stayed with mld WORD
version of a few yrs back.
Had no trouble with that one.
Find this new version way too complicated, non-intuitive, and most
convoluted.
Guess I'm really dating myself !

Thanks again,
Bob

Hello,

Using WORD 2007 and XP.

I have a document I update periodically.
On the left hand side, I have subjects listed like:

Bank A

Bank B

Bank C

Under each, with spacings of a a few tabs, I have some information, like

Bank A
Started in May

Bank B
Started in July

When I try to add a new Bank, e.g., Bank D, it puts it vertically
aligned
to the Started in space/column.
(not really formatted as a column; just use of tabs)

So it looks like
Bank D
Started in Aug.

I can't seem to find the trick to get Bank D in vertical alignment with
the other Banks to the extreme left.
Backspaces won't help.

Any ideas, please ?

Thanks,
Bob
