[JAWSLite] formatting in word

I was thinking about the recent thread involving formatting in Word.  With many 
full manuscripts I struggled to format my documents correctly and a few things 
I found out, better late than never, inspired me to write this email.  First of 
all, my sincere thanks to Jerry on this list who has been a true friend and 
Word specialist.

When you want to correct your paragraphing or what has been known as tabs it is 
not as you think.  To indent your paragraphs uniformaly at 0.5 or whatever 
width you are comfortable with do the following:

1.  Select the entire document you want to format from the point where you want 
the formatting to begin.
2.  Hit the alt key.
3.  Hit O for formatting and then P for paragraphs.
4.  Tab until you hear "Special".
5.  Arrow down to first line.
6.  arrow down to "by" and arrow up and down until you hear the indentation 
width you are comfortable with.  Tab until you hear "OK", press enter and you 
will be back in your document.
7.  Hit an arrow key to unselect your document.

Now, when you are writing a document and want your paragraphs to be uniform 
never hit the tab key again in the document !  When you want to create a new 
paragraph simply hit enter at the end of the preceeding line.
