WORD 97, Styles and MisFormatting of Text

[dw85745]

I originally typed my entire document using double spacing and then using the left indent and hanging indents to position text such that a paragraph was offset from the left margin, a number typed (e.g. 2. ) and then the rest of the body of the text was offset as a hanging indent. NO styles were used.




I am now trying to change this document so it is a pleading paper document.
I first selected the entire document with Ctrl + A, then created a Body Text style using Times New Roman and Font 14, and set Before/After = 0 and line spacing as EXACT and used a Font 14. This set the entire document to single spaced.



I then created a textbox, put pleading numbers within (double spaced) and then set those numbers to Times New Roman and Font 14. I aligned the textbox to the top of the header.


I then use Shift + Enter at the End of Each Line and ALL lines lined up correctly with the Pleading Numbers.


Now I decided to make some changes, and again attempted to the Hangiing Indent to offset part of the paragraphs underneath the first line.. HOWEVER the cause the entire paragraph to be offset.


So I'm guessing it has something to do with the Ctrl + Enter I put at the end of each line.


SO, will going with Styles resolve this problem, and HOW DO I CREATE a style that is EXACT and Font 14, in order to get the correct double spacing?
