Ladies and gentlemen, please let me thank you for your efforts in
trying to help me.
Please understand that I'm a slow learner with this thing, I confuse
very easily, and my concentration span is very limited. I'm not as I
used to was, and it's a bloody pain in the fundament!
I have tried the various routes suggested withour success. I have
even converted a document into rtf, then transferred same in to a
preset Word document (configured as per) but to no effect.
The rtf file contains within it all the instuctions for formating the
paragraphs as they were when it was saved, therefore when you re-load it,
you get back what you saved.
You could try Saving As plain Text (it's in the dropdown along with rtf
and the various varieties of Word formats), then load it into your pre-
set Word document. Dunno if it will work but it should get rid of all
existing formatting except the existence of paragraphs, which will let
you apply your desired style with no interference. You may not want to
take this route if you have much in the way of italic or bold
highlighting.
I've been through all the various settings as suggested, to no avail.
I still cannot get the thing to reset globally the first line indent.
Have you tried Selecting All before fiddling with the indent setting?
(Remember I don't use Word, this is guesswork based on other word-
processors and DTP apps)
Again, thanks - your efforts are much appreciated by this dumb
thicko.
That's what we're here for :^)
