Check the ruler by doing the following:
a. Select the problem paragraph.
b. Activate Paragraph mode by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F10.
Small triangles appear under the numbers on the ruler. The triangle
on the right points left, and the triangle on the left points
right, so that they point at each other. If this is not the case,
the left paragraph indent is currently set larger than the cell
width. The left triangle has two parts, which can be moved
separately. The top section indicates the first-line indent and the
bottom section indicates the left paragraph indent.
The triangles can be moved with a mouse or the keyboard. When using
the keyboard, the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys are used to position
the ruler cursor, represented by a rectangular box on the ruler.
Once the cursor is moved, do the following:
a. To change the left or right paragraph indents, press either the
"L" or "R" key (respectively) to move the indents to the current
cursor position.
b. To change the first-line indent, press the "F" key to move the
first-line indent to the current cursor position.
Using the mouse to position the left and right indents is
accomplished by pointing at the appropriate triangle and, holding
the left mouse button down, dragging it to the new position on the
ruler, as follows:
a. To set a first-line indent, move the left indent to the position
desired for the first-line indent.
b. To move just the left margin indicator (the bottom section of
the triangle), hold the SHIFT key down and drag it back to the
left.
