Tabs and Indents

[Faye]

How do I format a paragraph with some text that is "tabbed/indented" and some
that is not? The first few lines of the paragraph should be indented, but
the remaining lines are to align at the left margin.

You can have a first-line indent or a hanging indent; anything beyond that
will require (a) more than one paragraph or (b) line breaks and tabs.

Thanks! How do I insert the line breaks?

Press Shift+Enter. If you have formatting marks showing you'll see a
graphic that looks like the graphic on the Enter key (at least on my
Dell Latitude); it's a left-pointing arrow with a up-jog on the right end.

When I enter the line breaks and try to insert a tab in the next line, all of
the text automatically shifts to the right -- which is not what I'm looking
for. In previous versions of Word, I was able to highlight only the portion
of a paragraph that I wanted to reformat. It looks like it is no longer
possible to do that. . . unless I'm missing something. I'm using Word 2007.

You need to disable the "Set left- and first-indent with tabs and
backspaces" option. I'm not sure exactly where this is found in Word 2007;
in Word 2003 it's on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect
Options.
