My margins and tabs do not stay when I press return

I didn't have a problem until I start on 2003 if I am typing something that
needs the same format all the way down the page I can't seem to make it stay
as soon as I press the return button the margins and indents just go back to
beginning again.

There are (at least) two possible reasons for this:

1. If you have either or both of the WordPerfect options checked on the
General tab of Tools | Options, you get WP behavior in this regard.

2. If the "Style for following paragraph" of the style you're using is a
different style, then you get the formatting of that following style. This
will be true for all of Word's built-in heading styles, whose following
style, by default, is Normal.

Thank you so much it has been driving me mad it was the wordperfect options
that was checked.

Glad I could help. It's not so much the mystery of *why* the WP options have
that effect that's bothering; it's the mystery of how those options get
checked!
