Modifying Tabs Causes Paragraph Indents to Disappear in Word

4.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When multiple paragraphs are selected and a tab is added or modified, Word Version 4.00 sets the indents of these selected paragraphs equal to that of the first highlighted paragraph.

An example of this process is adding leader characters to a tab in a table of contents.

For example, when the ENTER key is pressed to carry out the Format Tab Set command, Word 4.00 sets the selected tabs, but resets the indents for the second through last paragraphs. All paragraphs will have an indent equal to that of the first paragraph.

To work around this problem, use the Format Paragraph command to reset the indents of the various paragraphs.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word Version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word Version 5.00.
