Stopping Automatic Indenting
How do I indent the second line (and third, etc.) without also indenting the
first line? I can't find anything in auto-correct that addresses this. |

It's not an autocorrect issue. Format the paragraph (or paragraph format for
the style) with a hanging indent. "Bernie" wrote in message news How do I indent the second line (and third, etc.) without also indenting the first line? I can't find anything in auto-correct that addresses this. |

You can press CTRL+T to set a hanging indent. You can drag the indent
marker with the mouse to specify a value other than the default. For even more control, hold the ALT key while you are dragging, in which case Word displays measurements on the ruler. Alternatively, you can click Paragraph on the Format menu. Click the Indents and Spacing tab. Under "Special", click "Hanging" and specify the desired value in the "By" box. Of course you can modify a paragraph style (or create a new one) to include the desired indent settings.

Thank you so much. I feel like an idiot, seeing how oobvious the answer was.
I'm a WordPerfect user with a new computer with Microsoft Word and just learning the differences. Bernie "Bernie" wrote: How do I indent the second line (and third, etc.) without also indenting the first line? I can't find anything in auto-correct that addresses this. |

You are welcome.
Also, you have no reason to feel stupid. Of course there is a learning curve when moving from WordPerfect to Word, given the fact that the two applications are so different from each other.
