I had the wonderful idea to download a manuscript template in Word 2007, problem is, I have never used a template before so was left kinda frustrated.
I figured that you just start by selecting the various spots and fill in your information (name, address, title...). After that was finished, I deleted the small amount of sample text and began to write in a few paragraphs only to discover that when I hit return, I no longer had my 1/2" indent that was supposed to be preset for each new paragraph.

Also, wondered how on each successive page, your last name and the page numbers was supposed to update? Although think might have got that by editing the header, will see if can make enough text to go to a new page and see if it updates.

If any one could possibly steer me in the right direction on how to get this sorted out, I would greatly appreciate it!
