There is no automatic way to do this because Word does not see this as a new paragraph but merely a continuation line.


You will have to set a tab and manually indent.

You could wait until you are done with your project and replace line breaks with a line break followed by the tab character (^t) if you do not use a manual line break for anything else.

You could also record a macro and assign it to Ctrl+Shift+Enter to do a Manual line break followed by a Tab character. I would save the macro and keyboard shortcut in your document (which then will have to be a .docm). Once you are done, if you are sending it out, you can save it as .docx.

Hello Charles,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm not all that familiar with the inner workings of Word, so I'll work through your answer and see how I go.

Thanks again for responding; I very much appreciate it
