Can someone PLEASE tell me were to turn off this ridiculous function whereby
if you want to indent the second line of a paragraph, THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH IS
MOVED?
Presumably the person who coded this in as default behaviour does NOT use
Word.....
 
Word Options > Proofing > Autocorrect Options > Autoformat as you type >
Uncheck 'Set left- and first- indent with tabs and backspaces.

Word has always had these options set by default but as with any other
option you can choose to switch them off.

Instead of using the tab key, use Ctrl+T (note Ctrl+Shift+T will undo the
command).

Thanks - I knew where to turn this off in 2003, but couldn't find it in
2007!

Precisely - IMHO these advanced options should be turned OFF by default - so
simple users like me don't pull their hair out in exasperation, but advanced
users can turn them ON if they want.

I believe the thinking is that if the functions are not turned on, users
will not know they exist.
