Joe,

Thanks a lot for putting that together. It's pretty close; except in
my case the first, unindented line is not part of the paragraph. Also,
I realized I left out something important in my example, I wouldn't
mind being able to have more than one indented paragraph, e.g.:

--- example ---

KEYWORD1

   This is a paragraph that describes the keyword that
   was mentioned above. It spans more than one line.

   Here is another paragraph that's related to that last
   one, it also spans more than one line.

KEYWORD2

   Here is a paragraph about the second keyword. This
   also takes up a few lines.

--- end example ---

So more accurately, my document is divided up into sections and each
section "header" appears on a line by itself, followed by one or more
paragraphs that are indented on every line. The main problem is having
to drag the indentation marker in the ruler back and forth for every
section.

A second solution that I've been trying is using a list with no
bullets and a double line spacing between each list item. Then the
keywords are level 1 list items, and each paragraph is a level 2 list
item. This is rather hard to work with, especially when dealing with
page breaks, extra line breaks, and other headers and things in the
document. It does let me use tab and shift+tab to control the
indentation, though, but... it's a little strange.

Thanks,
Jason
