Having troubles with indenting

I am currently running 25.8.4.2 on Windows 10. Ever since updating, I have had troubles with indenting on my writings.

I indent using the tab button. The paragraph stays in that format until I hit Enter, at which point it goes back to the left side of the page. I have used the Styles feature as well as the indentation bar at the top and nothing is being saved. I end up having to go back to the beginning of the paragraph and hit Tab.

Please see this answer to a similar question from a week ago, New Line Deletes previous line indent - #2 by LeroyG

If your entire document body text will use the indent, then change Body Text style to have an indent. Body text style is automatically set to follow Heading n paragraph style. It can be applied with Ctrl+0 if you need to change out of another style.

  • In the Sidebar under paragraph styles, right click Body text style and select Edit style
  • In the new dialogue that opens, select the Indents and spacing tab
  • Under Indents, First Line set the indent to 12.7 mm (1/2"). OK

You won’t have to make a pretend indent for new paragraphs but will get a true indent automatically
