Dear Barry
This is an answer to "both" your queries - the double indent and the date 
problem.  Both can be solved with a macro but I assume you aren't comfortable 
with macros or you would be putting these into macros already.  
DOUBLE INDENT - MANUAL  Pos cursor in the para.  Format,  Paragraph,  type in 
the SAME number for Left [Tab] Right (ie 2cm or 1inch etc) OK.  MACRO - Open 
a file with a para in it and put the cursor in the para.  Tools,  Macro, type 
in DoubleIndent (no spaces) and give it a description, REcord,  Toolbar,  
[Close].  Go sowly through the manual steps to indent and click on the Stop 
button on the Macro toolbar. Put the cursor in another para and use  Tools,  
Macro, click on DoubleIndent and click [Run].  If this works put it into a 
button to put onto your (or Standard) toolbar.  Tools, Customise..., Pull any 
buttons you never use into the box (ie AutoFormat).  Go down to Macros in the 
Catagories box and put the cursor ON the DoubleIndent. HOLD & DRAG to the 
toolbar to a space.  Finger off.  You will see a list of buttons you can use. 
 Click on one and choose [Assign].   It will remain inuse until you delete 
the macro or rmemove the button.
Do the same for the date but call it InsDate.  Make sure the Field button is 
not selected and the blue bar is at the top of the list before starting.  I'd 
love to hear how you got on - it is not easy to complex instructions through 
this "medium".  If anything goes wrong delete your macro and start again bore 
putting it into a button.
Regards
