Hello Jane, You don't describe the steps being followed when each issue occurs so my suggestions are guesses based on what I imagine might be happening.
1. If using the tab key to indent the lines that will not affect the margin.The next line will start to the left of the tab. To make an indent for a paragraph (lines indented the same so long as Enter key not pressed) select Formal > Paragraph from the menu. Then on the "Indents & Spacing" tab set the "Before text" space to the value you want. 2. The same indentations will not be different "here and there". Wherever your indentations are different there will be a space or a change in font size or a margin change associated with the spot where the indentation is different. 3. More information needed, what is the message? 4. More information needed. What method to open (e.g. double-click mouse on icon, select from menu, etc), does one method always work and another always fail, what is your computer's operating system (e.g. Windows 7, Windows 10, OS X), how much memory in your computer, what size is the hard drive and how much space is free on the hard drive? With Windows I have experienced programs working sometimes and other times not if the hard drive has less than 10% free space. 5. Try selecting the text, right-clicking, then select the "Default Formatting" menu option.
