Let's hope that someone else on this list has a answer to this question. I've only been able to do it by selecting the one paragraph, and going into the paragraph settings dialog box to find out how things are set for that particular paragraph. I would then make adjustments as needed, and then get out of the dialog box so that I could move on to the next paragraph. This is very time consuming and I've since resorted to using tables.
