Better to learn how to use Styles. For what you need to do change the formatting of the Paragraph Style you wish to modify; on the Indents and Spacing tab set the indent "Before text" (which is for the entire paragraph) and the "First line" indent (which is for the first line only) you require. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
