controlling automatic left indents
Thanks, Bob, but I find that the help in Word 2007 is sorely lacking in
quality when compared to Word 2003. If anyone has a more specific resolution, I would truly appreciate it. Styles are very tricky and unpredictable. Arlene "CyberTaz" wrote: Each paragraph is a separate entity, so after pressing Enter you have to press Tab again if you want the new paragraph indented - that setting doesn't cause all paragraphs to be automatically indented. It just means that when you press Tab at the start of a paragraph it's treated as a First Line Left Indent instead of being treated as an actual Tab. If you want that type of behavior you need to learn about using Paragraph Styles... look them up in Word Help. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Arlene" wrote in message ... Word 2007 has a checkbox in the AutoCorrect dialogn box under the AutoFormat As You Type tab named "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces." I assumed this was why when I pressed a Tab, that an automatic left indent was set, which meant that anytime after that when I pressed Enter, I would get an automatic .5-inch indent on the new paragraph. However, I cannot replicate this behaviour now. Even though the box is checked, the paragraph is not being indented automatically. What is controlling these indents? I need to know both how to stop it and how to start it. Thanks in advance. Arlene |
