how can undo my preset first line indent on just the first paragraph. i need
to have all subsequent paras indented. in my previous version of word when i
set this in 'special' indent, i could easily undo that on any paragraph by
using backspace. i am using word 2007.

Open your normal.dotx template from within Word (using the Open
command in the Office button), select the paragraph mark in the
otherwise blank typing area (Show Non-Printing Characters: Ctrl-
Shift-8), and apply the style Normal. Save the template.

The next time you make a new document, the cursor will be at the left
margin.

To automatically get indents on the next paragraphs, Modify the Normal
style so that "Style for following paragraph" is an indented style. To
Modify, type Ctrl-Shift-S, select a style name, and click Modify.

In the AutoCorrect dialog box, make sure that the "Set left and first indent
with tabs and backspaces" option is selected on the AutoFormat As You Type
tab.

To display the dialog box, click the Office button, and then click Word
Options. In the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options button.
