When I indent a paragraph I don't want the first line to indent with the rest
of the paragraph. How do I prevent this from happening.

Use a hanging indent (Format Paragraph)

You use a first line indent. You can set this manually on the ruler or in
the Format Paragraph dialog. It is best to modify your style to include
this rather than doing it paragraph by paragraph.

Or, perhaps you mean a hanging indent. Same advice, different term and
effect.
