Still thinking WP, aren't you?  ;)
Word does not have a one-to-one command to WP's Indent (F4) or double-Indent 
(Shift-F4).

This may well be one of the faster ways to accomplish the same thing.
As I have helped people make the transition from WP to Word, this is one of 
the first points I attempt to drive home.  "Indent," as defined by WP, does 
not exist in Word.
