Text indentation with shading
I have created a custom font in Word that has a blue shading to the edge of the page and has the text indented to align with previous paragraphs (as shown in the image below).
Everything works fine until the text begins on the next line. Again, as you can see in the image, the text isn't indented. I know that the reason for this is because I'm using "First line" indentation to achieve the style. Is there anyway I can fix the indentation of the second line to be aligned with the other text and still have the blue bar begin at the edge of the left side of the page?
