Can't insert space at the beginning of a line in Word

You should NOT use spaces to format the content. If you want to indent your text, use paragraph indents.

the paragraph indents move the whole paragraph. But i just want to move a specific line.

example

"Fig. 1.1: A two-dimensional crystal. The lattice vectors are drawn. The unit cell is the
shaded parallelogram in the figure."

i want the word "shaded" to be under the word "A two-". I looks much better if i can do this. If i use paragraph indent this will move the whole sentence.
As i said i was able to move the second line by choosing "wrap trailing spaces to next line" and keep pressing space but this not allways work

yes in this case it works. But if i want the word word "shaded" to be under the word "the lattice"
the problem is still the same. I just want to add a space where i want.
if this is not possible than i will stop searching for a solution.
i have attached a document with few comments.
