[stylist] Word Processing question

[Judith Bron]

  Cindy, How do you set the style?  In my manuscript I typed the words 
formatting it to indent the first word of the paragraph by 0.5 inches.  I 
sentered the chapter title like Chapter one.  I never heard of what you are 
talking about.  Can you enlighten us further?  Thanks, Judith
