Brenda,
I think that setting up an indented style is probably the best thing to do.
First, format a paragraph to with to look the way you want it. Do this
in Format, Paragraph, Indents and Spacing. Then highlight the paragraph
and click on Format, Styles and Formatting. A box should appear listing
the current styles. Click on the icon in the top right hand corner of
the box and a small box with three options should appear. Click on New
style from Selection. You only then need to give your new style a name
and use style this whenever you need the indented first line.
Hope this helps

I need to indent the first line of a paragraph. In word I would click on the little triangle up in the ruler section of the screen and bring it over to hover above the "1" and it would move that line along with it. NOW, in OpenOffice I can move those little triangles until the cows come home and it does not move the wording.
I need to be able to format the first line and have the second lines stay where
they are. I have gone to Format, Paragraph and played around with every
setting I can do and nothing helps me.
Please let me know if you can help...anyone.
For example:
WHEREFORE, blah blah blah
adfadthl;kae
needs to look like:
WHEREFORE, blah blah blah
blahddfadoljdafkjadfa
Everytime I try to move it, the second lines stay right under the WHEREFORE and
they need to just stay put.
