One way is to highlight the text after you write it, and then move the left
indent slider on the ruler to the place where you want text to be lined up.
To show the ruler if it's not already showing at the top of your document:
1. Click on the View tab on the Ribbon.
2. In the Show/Hide section, check the box next to "Ruler."
On the left-hand side of the ruler there are two triangles with a little
rectangle beneath them. The rectangle is the left indent slider. Highlight
the text you want to have a specific margin. Then move the slider to where
you want the text to line up and let go. All your highlighted text should now
be lined up at the margin you want.

After tabbing to a new indention, I want the text in this sentence to align
itself with the new indention...not moving all the way to the left margin.
How can I do this?
