OK. I'll put it on the wishlist.
>- The Tabs dialog box is used to enter a tab in a frameless text object.

Works ok here!

Create a multiline paragraph, place the cursor say 1/2" or so from the
start on the first line, and choose Indent Here. It should cause the rest
of the paragraph to have a left margin at the same offset from the left
edge as were you put the command.
It is actually a keyboard command, but I put a short cut in the script menu
for those who might not ever read the manual 
Once you figure out how it works, then you can provide better input! I've
rewritten this some though to try and make it more understandable.

Moved to previous paragraph where it is talked about (not sure it needs to
be here at all since it is just the previous section that talks about it.
>*** Paragraph Attributes/Paragraph Rules ***

OK, I stuck the word "line" in there!
>*** Paragraph Attributes/Auto Hyphenation ***
>I don't think this section should be called "Auto Hyphenation" I think
>it should be just 'Hyphenation'?
True. Done.
>*** Paragraph Attributes/Auto Hyphenation/To change hyphenation for
>every occurrence of a word: ***
>"Choose Hyphenation from the Define submenu of the Edit menu to display
>the Edit Hyphenation dialog box." Looking at the image directly above,
>this sentence must be talking about the Define Hyphenation dialog box?
True. Changed.
>*** Paragraph and Character Styles/Introduction/Understanding styles ***
>- 5th paragraph -
>"Type styles applied to text before being formatted with a style will be
>retained."
>The words "styles" and "style" are talking about different things in the
>same sentence. I suggest different word be selected the replace "styles"
>such as 'attributes'.
OK.
