Carolyn,
Try pressing Control m before starting your letter or other document to get
an automatic paragraph indent.

There is a Windows Command, Control T, which is hanging indent. That is for
when you have topics or headings that you want to stand out, and say, they'd
be at one inch, and your indent would be at 2.5 or whatever you set. The
first line after a double space is at the margin, then the rest of the text
is at whatever setting is set for the hanging indent. It would be really
nice to know how to make an automatic indent for paragraphs, say for
letters.
Bye for now,
Carolyn

Judith,
I'm unclear as to whether you're asking how to make it such that if
you hit an enter each new paragraph automatically starts with an indent or
simply how to make an indent.
Hitting the Tab key will give you an indent at the beginning of the
paragraph and you, of course, are controlling this entirely manually.
You can also set a hanging indent using the top slider on the
horizontal ruler at the top of your document (which, unfortunately, I do not
know how to control with JAWS) which sets an automatic indent when you hit
Enter to start a new paragraph. Also, open Word Help and search on the
phrase "set tab stops." There is a section in there which describes how to
set a hanging indent not with the slider, but using a dialog box, but you
will likely understand how to bring that dialog up in JAWS after reading
what's there.
Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.
Brian
