My mail bounced.  Apologies to everyone in advance.

Set tabs at the indicated locations.  Then to enter, for example, the line
starting with "yyy", type

<TAB>yyy<TAB>:<F4>yyyyyyyy yy y yyyyyy yyyy yyyyyyy yyyyyy yyyyyy 
yyy yyy yyyyyyy yyyyyyy<RETURN>

Since you used <F4> ("indent") when the paragraph wraps, the subsequent
lines will be indented the proper amount.

Moral of the story:  Never use spaces to line up things.  It only
	gives you a false sense of achievement.  Use cool things
	like tabs, indent, center, right-align, maybe even styles.
	The time you invest now in learning to use these tools will 
	be saved in time not spent trying to tweak your document later.

Since I've noticed that other folks have had difficulty getting through to
Mr. Markmanrud, perhaps he can double-check that the address above is valid.
