Hiya,
In Word 2000, you can choose Format | Paragraph from the menu, then in the
Indentation section select "Hanging" from the drop-down box for Special, and
then set the By entry box to however far you want to indent the rest of the
paragraph.
You may even want to experiment with the settings in the Indentation section
to see what other effects you can get.
Regards,
Bevan
