        <description><![CDATA[...I figured out how to find the &quot;first line indent handle.&quot; But it does generate a couple of thoughts. (1) Visual illustrations would help on some tips like this one--but when a user posts there is only an option to submit text. I made an image for my own notes and for any future training I may do. Here's what I mean: http://fotos1951.googlepages.com/home (2) I consider myself a power user and thought I knew a lot about Word, but that one had somehow slipped by me. Makes me wonder how many other cool tips are &quot;out there&quot; that I may have missed. My excuse on this one is that I came from a background of typesetting where I set my I set my body text style and never bothered with manual indentions.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One problem with moving that little triangle  [and generally with clicking on the ruler] is that not all positions are available: the marker moves to a position the program will accept. For example, when I try to set a small indent, it comes out at 0.27 centimeters--it is impossible manually to set it 0.2 or 0.3 cm.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Why not simply drag the &quot;first line indent&quot; handle to the required position? This has the advantages of :-1) Allowing indenting to any position (not restricted multiples of the TAB setting).2) No need to position the &quot;insertion point&quot; at the start of the first line. Just ANYWHERE in the paragraph.This works in Word 2000, I assume also other versions.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Novice users usually use whatever the default tab setting is, with 1, 2, or 3 tabs, AND blocks of spaces to position EVERY paragraph, then complain when the first indented line of a 14pt Arial paragraph doesn't line up perfectly at 1.25 inches with the one at 9pt in another font.  If the first paragraph is formatted (using Format &gt; Paragraph... &gt; Indentation &gt; Special) to a first-line indent of 1.25 inches, then all paragraphs generated after that will automatically be at the same setting if you just hit ENTER to start a new one based on the formatted one.For paragraphs that are already in place, just select them as a group and apply the paragraph formatting.]]></description>
