Any idea how to slove this (preferably without using columns).
One way for you to do this is in the Paragraph Style dialog (Indents & Spacing tab) set Before Text to a positive value (say 2cm) and then First line to the same negative value (so, -2cm). You'll find that then the first tab is automatically at the boundary of the text for later lines. > BTW > is there a shortcut for colum break? It looks like Ctrl+Shift+Return - I didn't know that thanks for the tip. Look at Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
