Re: Stopping Automatic Indenting

[Jezebel]

It's not an autocorrect issue. Format the paragraph (or paragraph format for
the style) with a hanging indent.

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. For an introduction to styles,
please see: http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/TipsOnStyles.html.

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. For more, please
