The original poster was looking for the functionality of the equivalent
to Ctrl+T in Microsoft Word in Writer. The idea is that at each press of
Ctrl+T the left indent of every line in the paragraph except the first
line indents to the next tab stop. (Ctrl+Shift+T does the reverse).

The macro suggested at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/
does just that (it also implements something similar to the F4
functionality in Word Perfect for indents).

There has been some discussion about using styles to perform the same
task. With a style you can set a specified size of hanging indent for
the style. For a large document this definitely the best course of
action. However, in a small document sometimes all you want is a "quick
and dirty" approach to get a hanging indent of the desired size. Thus
the macro to implement the equivalent to Microsoft Word's Ctrl+T.

The question becomes should this functionality become standard in
OpenOffice.org?

Thanks, Ian
