Turning off Automatic Hanging Indent

[Mansour]

I am typing a document and some of my lines gets indented
automatically with Hanging Indent. I have to go to the
Paragraph formatting and set the hanging Indent to none to
correct the problem. Is there any way to turn this silly
feature off?

I suspect you're inadvertently pressing Ctrl+T.

chances are you are either hitting ctrl+t or clicking in
the ruler section of the document. i'm pretty sure there
is no way to turn this feature off, you just have to be
careful where you click/hit.

Does this happen when you press the TAB key? If this is the case, do
the following to fix it:

For Word 2000 and earlier: Tools > Options > Edit: "Tabs and backspace
set left indent."

For Word 2002 and later: Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoFormat As You Type:
"Set first and left indent with tabs and backspaces."

Clarification: The option should be cleared if you don't want a
hanging indent to be created as you press TAB at the beginning of a
paragraph.
