Short Return Usage with First Line Indentation

[Lee0879]

I really hope that someone can help me please.

I am currently formatting an e-book on Word 2010 and have been advised to use short return (shift + enter) rather than hard return (just enter) whenever I start a new paragraph.

However, when I do this I am unable to use first line indentation. Can anybody advise a way of getting around this please as both Amazon and Kobo insist on using soft return but don't explain how to indent the first line of a new paragraph.

I am struggling to find an answer on Google so if anybody can help me, I'd very much appreciate it

Thanks
