Summary:

If you select an entire Microsoft Word document and use the ruler change the paragraph indents, Word assumes that that ruler setting is to be used for the entire document and will apply the tab stops (along with the indents) from the first paragraph to the entire document.

To avoid this problem, choose Paragraph from the Format menu and type the desired indents in the Right and Left indent boxes. This will change the indents for all the selected paragraphs without affecting their tab formatting.
