Indent the beginning of a paragraph using tab key

I am able to use the tab key to indent a paragraph only on occasion in my
text. WHat do I do to fix this where I access this feature every time I need
to ?

I assume you're talking about a left indent rather than a first-line indent.
To activate this feature:

1. Word 2000 and earlier: Check the box for "Tabs and backspace set left
indent" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.

2. Word 2002 and 2003: Check the box for "Set left- and first-indent with
tabs and backspace" on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect
Options.
