Hi rufusfrog,

If you format your poems so that each line is a separate Word paragraph, each line can have a separate paragraph Style applied.

Alternatively, you can use paragraph breaks after every second line and use a single Style, with a 1.25in indent and a -.25in hanging indent, you can use a single paragraph Style.

The only way to do this within a single paragraph is to apply a 1in indent to the whole paragraph, then apply a 0.25in tab to each alternate line. That's because, other than having a different first line indent, you can't change the indent levels for different lines within a paragraph, with or without a macro.
