Priscilla, I believe that there is a way to set your tabs in Word. You don't have to rely on the pre-set tabs. This is probably something you already know. But just in case, you'll find it either under the page settings or under tools, depending on which version of Word is being used.
There's also an alignment feature which can be used to make sure that all of the text is set on one margin. Then, you can move down and carefully adjust those portions which require indenting. I know I'm talking to a teacher here but once you know precisely how far each tab is going to take you, you can then employ the simple but effective tab counting process which has been used for many years. 3 tabs = 30 spaces from the edge. This is an arbitrary number but I'm sure that you get the idea. Personally, I prefer Word hands down over Word Perfect. I found that program difficult to use and somewhat esoteric in its command structure. However, that's a matter of taste I'm sure. At least, Word Perfect worked well with the Jaws program in those days. You're showing your age there Priscilla. LOL.
