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.:
Here, this is the Adobe Acrobat user's manual:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acrruserguide.pdf
Page 9 is exactly the type of formatting that I am going for. Note the
bold lines of text, aligned with the left margin of the page, and the
content underneath each of those bold lines that is indented and
formatted arbitrarily (e.g. some has bullets, there are paragraphs,
images, all sorts of things).
My own document is actually a technical manual, and there are many
such sections.

--- 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
Create a style for the indented paragraphs. Create a second paragraph
style for KeywordX paragraphs, and select the indented paragraph style
as the "next style." That way you can have as many indented paragraphs
as you want. When you want to use a new KeywordX paragraph, select that
paragraph style and continue.
