Tab Help!!!

Okay by Default Microsoft Word this is what it does when I type.
(Example)
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.

Now why is it when I want a space it won't automatically go into a tab like
when I press Enter once??
(Example)
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.

The cat leaped over the frog. <--- Notice it's not tabbed?
The cat leaped over the frog.
The cat leaped over the frog.

PLEASE Help!!!

I'm not entirely clear on what you're doing here. If your paragraph style
has a first-line indent, then every time you press Enter you should get a
new paragraph with a first-line indent unless:

1. The "Style for following paragraph" is set to a different style, one that
doesn't have a first line indent.

2. You're not pressing Enter but instead pressing Shift+Enter to get line
breaks.

3. You have one or more of the WordPerfect options enabled on the General
tab of Tools | Options.

In the case of (1), you need to change the style back to the one you had in
the first paragraph. If you always want this style to repeat when you press
Enter, go to Format | Style | Modify and change the "Style for following
paragraph" to be the same style.

In the case of (2), you should press Enter once and use Space Before/After
to get space between the paragraphs.

In the case of (3), clear the check boxes for both items that refer to
WordPerfect.
