Paragraph Indents Don't Line Up

[Scot Wharton]

When I try to move the paragraph indent marker in the
ruler, it stick where I place it.

For example. If I want an indent of one inch. I'll move
the paragraph indent marker to 1". It moves itself to
0.94" or 1.04" instead. I have to go into page setup to
fix it.

Does anyone know what is causing that problem? ANy help
that can be offered is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scot

Scot,

This could be the "snap objects to grid" setting.
View>Toolbars>Drawing>Draw>Grid and unchec "snap objects
to grid."

You can usually gain precise control over placing objects
by holding down the ALT key while positioning with the
mouse.

Greg,

Thank you very much. That did the trick. I knew about
using the ALT key and informed the user about it, but
wanted to find a more permanent solution.

Thanks again,

Scot
