The way you describe is the only way I know of short of a section break,
and, as you know, that causes even more problems. Have you tried printing? I
find that even though my indented paragraphs (in Word 2002) don't appear
indented (even in Print Preview), thety actually print correctly. But I
evidently lead a charmed life, as I was able to get indents next to text
boxes and frames in Word 97 when no one else could, so my experience is
probably not relevant.
