Enter key ends Hanging Indent

[zSplash]

I have a tab at 1", a hanging indent at 1.7". I want it so that whenever I
hit the Enter key, the hanging indent will automatically end cease and there
will be the regular default left margin (on the new line, that is). I would
like to reprogram the Enter key so that whenever it is invoked, it will
autmatically have no hanging indent. Is this possible?

TIA

Hi, z,

Don't even think of doing it that way. Word will fight you all the way on
this.

Instead, define a paragraph style that has the tab stop and the hanging
indent, and tell it that the "Next Style" is the Normal style (or Body Text,
or whatever you're using for regular text). This will behave the way you
want.

Thanks, Jay. I will try (yet again) with Styles.
