I have two questions:
First, what is it called when every line after the first in a "paragraph" is indented? I believe that it is a hanging indent.
Second, how does one achieve the above? I remember there being a specific option for this in Office 2000 (I haven't used Microsoft's products in a long time) under the Format>Paragraph menu. I didn't find such an option in OOo 1.1.4, but what I did do was change the first line's indent to -.5 and indented all of the text. I understand that one can manually indent the lines after the first one, but I'd like this to be automatic.
You want a hanging indent (in continental Europe, a french indent)
To achieve it you set an indent for the whole paragraph ("before text" setting) and then set a NEVATIVE indent for the first line. Be careful to NOT select "automatic" checkbox.
Once set for a paragraph, all new paragraphs created from thsi by pressing ENTER will inherit these settings.
In addition you can create an STYLE using the stylist (F11). Then if you have any other paragraph and want to convert into "hanging indent" (and with that precise amount of indenting you want), teh only thing you need to do is place the cursor in it and "apply style" with the Stylist pane.
