style question, indent first line, but not first paragraph
In engineering books published by Wiley, in a consecutive series of
paragraphs, the first line of every paragraph is indented except for the first paragraph. I have been using a different style for first paragraph, but can this be done with one style? Thanks, Brian Murphy |

Not that I know of - any given style can have only one set of
specifications. What you can do is create "style a" for the first para & "style b" for the others. Set "b" as the Style for Following Paragraph in the definitions of both "a" & "b". When you apply "a" , type the para & press Enter each successive para will have "b" automatically applied until you again apply "a" or change to something else. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac wrote in message oups.com...

That's the way I do it. I have Body Text as the following style for all
left-aligned headings, and Body Text First Indent as the following style for Body Text. -- Suzanne S.
