While typing in Open Office 4.1.7 I am getting an auto ident

Post by michiganj24 »

This is a new problem that just started today. I get to the end of the line and then instead of starting the next line at the start it starts about ten spaces in with a form of auto indentation. And it is basically locked in as I cant just go back without deleting everything after the ident and manually starting a new line. Please help

Identify the style of paragraph in use (shown on first Window in Formatting Toolbar) and edit the Indents and Spacing tab of that paragraph style to remove the unwanted settings.

Or try Menu Tools > AutoCorrect and in the Options tab, uncheck the Apply Styles entry.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the *EDIT button if your issue has been fixed.
