I had a bulleted list with six entries:

- foo
- bar
- baz
- bim
- bam 
- boom

I selected a range from somewhere in baz to somewhere in bam (ie, paragraphs 
3-5).  If they'd been just text, then only those paragraphs would've been 
indented.   

- foo
- bar
  - baz
  - bim
  - bam 
- boom

However, since it was a list (I guess) all six paragraphs moved, which was a 
big surprise.  I thought -- hey if I wanted all six lines, I woulda selected 
all six!  Just move the ones I told you to, Abi!  

At that point, I had to be (forcefully) reminded to take a break and stop 
muttering out loud at the screen.  ;-)
