Hanging Indent Problem

Hello,

In my documents, I usually have the following formating:

(i) some title that may span
two lines

text text text

So I will have hanging indent for "(i) some title..." and after hitting
the carriage return, i will usually pull the upper inverted triangle for the
hanging indent to match the location of the lower triangle, so that the
"text text text" will start at the same location of "some title".

However, for my Word (Word 2000), Word seems to think it's superior to me,
and it will actually instead pull the lower triangle to the location of the
upper triangle after my above action, resulting in the "text text text"
aligning at the same location of (i). So I have to pull the bottommost
rectangle to where I want for the "text text text" to start.

This is annoying. Hope someone can tell me what function to turn off to
make Word really listen to me.

Never mind all that "triangle" crap. Do Ctrl-M and your "text text
text" will line up with the rest of the indented text. Ctrl-M is a
quick way of getting an indented paragraph.
