Indent First (Visible) "Line"

[Chuck C.]

HELLO!

Can someone PLEASE tell me if there's any way to indent (just) the first line in a "paragraph" (without inserting a Hard Return at the end of that line, and with Word Wrap turned On).
     For example, sometimes I use TextPad to write my emails (and other standard, letter-type documents) and like to indicate the beginning of a new paragraph by putting a few spaces (or a tab) before only the first word in the paragraph;  So that, Without Adding Any Hard Returns it would print/display like the following paragraph:
    The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

Is there ANY way to do that?

     Thanks in Advance!!

Oops! I think I just discovered the configuration option that sets this!

Just out of curiosity, has anybody else had this question?
It seems to me (but it could definitely be my lack of experience with text editors) that the "Default" would be to allow first-visible-line indents.

Please let me know your experiences with this question!!

Thank you!

Chuck,

The standard for representing paragraphs, in most books nowadays, is to precede them with a blank line, rather than indenting the first line. Hence, "Maintain Indentation" is enabled by default. Fortunately, you have the option to do it the way you prefer.
