John,
I've replicated your problem, as Robert obviously did. so I'm wondering
what you're trying to accomplish. If it were me, I'd be using spaces after
typing the number. I'd press the spacebar a certain number of times after
a single digit, then reduce that number by one when the paragraph or
allegation number reaches double digits, and so on.
I understand the seeming point of tabbing, but in my case, too, it tends
to create problems any time a character intervenes between tabs.
I apologize if this suggestion is overly simplistic, but sometimes
returning to the primitive does the trick. Assuming, that is, I'm not
continuing to misunderstand the problem.
A.S.

Adrian: I know what you're saying; however, when I press any letter or
number and then the tab key I see the code "hd left ind", and the next
line is indented, If I just hit the tab key and don't hit numbers or
letters, it works fine. If I delete the code and press tab again, the same
code appears. John Fioravanti press the

John,
I must be missing something. The way to get rid of a WordPerfect code, as
I'm sure you know, is simply to press the delete key on it. This
particular code turns up, in my experience, after either pressing the F7
hanging indent or accidentally pressing the shift key with tab.

Is there anything to be done to fix this problem other than what youy
suggested? Thanks, seems like a bug in the program. My legal assistent
claims she doesn't have this problem.

I tried several things, if you tab twice, left arrow once and put the
number 1 in, arrow right once then begin to type, you do not have the
hanging indent.
Hope this helps.

Subject: wordperfect automatic indents
Hi: I am using wordperfect 12 with jaws 8, and do mostly legal writing. A
weird thing is happening. In a Petition or motion, I tab over once and
type
the number 1. then I tab again and start typing, when the sentence goes to
the next line I notice that the margin begins at 2 rather than 1.
Essentially, in the reveal codes when I look at the tab between the number
and the beginning of the writing I see "HD indent." How do I get rid of
this. When I simple tab over twice and start typing my text with a number
or a letter, the next line is at the right margin i.e., 1 and it doesn't
automaticly indent. If I'm not being clear enough, I'm sorry. . John
Fioravanti,
