[stylist] Tab in word

[Donna Hill]

Hi Atty,
Why not change the paragraph formatting to "first line" instead of "none?"
I'm using 2003, which does the same thing with tabs and I think it looks
even worse than you may think. For me, "Paragraph" is the second item in the
format menu "paragraph" and you tab to 		the "Special" combo box,
which in 2003 is set to "none" by default. Down arrow one to "first line."
This will change the next box to reflect a 0.5 indent from the left margin.
Then tab to OK and enter or spacebar. This will only effect the document
you're in, but it can be changed to be the default. I don't bother with
that, though, as my articles can't have paragraph indents. For my book,
though, the above procedure gives me old-fashion paragraphs with an indented
first line.

HTH,
Donna

Hi folks,

I've run into some trouble with word 2007. What a surprise, ay?

It seems that when I press tab to indent aparagraph it does it great the
first time. It says 1.5 inchers. Perfect, However, the next time it tells me
2.0 inches and after that 2.5 and so on. It is like it adds them. I don't
know how I broke it or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreceated!

Warmly,
Atty
