Default Styles question

Windows version Word 2013



I am new to styles, so this may seem too basic, but it is important to me.

I know how to set a paragraph to have the first words indented.

I also want to to create a style that will leave the first sentence left justified but allow me to indent the second and third (or more lines).

Thanking you in advance

Styles are essential to using Word so it is good that you are going to embrace them.

What I think you are describing is a hanging indent - Paragraph Format > Indentation > Special > Hanging.

There are plenty of websites that offer support for using styles in Word. Most of the information applies to all versions of word. Here are a couple to get you started:

http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm
http://shaunakelly.com/word/styles/tipsonstyles.html

Both of these websites offer much more that what you are asking but, will help you ten-fold for future assistance.

Hope this helps...
