Hi...I have a serious problem with one page in a file I'm using OpenOffice for. I am typing a thesis document, and have several quotes in which I change from my double spaced font to single, and indent the left and right margins. So far, I am having trouble with one paragraph only, and I'm not sure why that is. When I try to change the spacing to single, it single spaces two or three paragraphs above and below the area that I highlight with my mouse (to change spacing). I cannot hit the tab button on a preceeding paragraph without it "tabbing" the entire next two pages, and I am unable to change this by going to the "paragraph" tab under "format". I am also unable to enter text above or below the selection that is giving me trouble without it "doing the same thing".
you cannot set the line spacing for just some selected lines. It works only for whole paragraphs. And a paragraph is everything up to the next line that ends with Enter (or Return). When you use Shift+Enter to enter the next "paragraph", it may look like a new paragraph, but in fact it is still the same paragraph with a line break.
For the position of tabulators this is the same: only for whole paragraphs. Hope this helps.
