Bloody hell, why does word taunt me! I just want to tab in one paragraph, not the whole page! Why does it indent the whole page! How do I alleviate myself of this curse!

Same thing goes with bulleted lists, how do I get them to add not at the top of the page, and just where I have a my new sentence?

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Have had the same problem for ages - and gave up. I just found a different way to format my pages. The way to sort this is to use and old version of word, that isn't "clever" enough to think it knows better than you do. I don't have the motivation to sort this, hence the afformentioned giving up. Good luck sir.

Different combinations of keys sometimes help formatting in Word. For instance, if you have a list and you want to go to the next line without ending the list or starting a new item, hit shift-enter, and if you're in a table or a list and you want to tab over, hit ctrl-tab.

I'm sure there's a way around it, did you try the help menu or the auto formating menu?

The best Word Processor for Windows (I found) was the new version of WordPerfect (I had version 10) - even if it ever did that crazy crap, you could use reveal codes to find out what chars are actually there and simply delete them.

Also try Text Maker for Windows (both of these are pay) - or if you want free, try open office or abiword.

I use Adobe Indesign 2.0 for typing documents now because the control is unsurpassed. With Indesign, i could place things exactly where I WANT THEM, not where THE SOFTWARE WILL LET ME PUT THEM.

Don't bother with Indesign CS unles you have lots of money to burn. Indesign 2.0 will do almost everything CS will, and you can get it for much less if you manage to find it. Check E-bay. (I just found a copy listed at roughly $30, which is a pretty good deal, considering that Indesign CS costs $700 in stores)

Or, if you're a black-hearted little pirate, you could always go ISO hunting...

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Have you tried fiddling with the grey slidy bar thingies on the top of the page? (gah, what in the world would you call those?) anyways, if your looking in print layout, and you adjust the grey triangles on the top ruler bar while the thing you want tabbed is highlighted, it should work...

:-' somehow i don't think that made much sense...

Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream, For the soul is dead that slumbers, and things are not as they seem. Life is real, Life is ernest, the grave is not it's goal; Dust thou art, Dust thou returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.
~William Shakespeare

If you tab the first paragraph in the file, the rest are auto-tabbed. Some find it useful...

And if you don't like the auto-tab, disable it in preferences. It's not hard.

Genesis 22:2-5 - And God said unto Abraham "You must kill your son, Isaac." And Abraham said "What? I can't hear you! You'll have to speak into the microphone." And God said "Check, check, check, check. Jerry, can you pull the high end out. I'm getting some hiss up here."

It's like the "you are an idiot" song playing in my head, except it's me. Anyway, I figured that out yesterday, oh, after about a bloody hour after I printed out my freaking experimental designs.

But yeah, tanks for the help.

The little undo arrow on the toolbar is VERY helpful when Word decides to use its own formatting.

The only thing that worked was the reset of the tab settings. I tried the grey hourglass thing many times, infact what I did first, but in any case.
