    How do I indent the first line of each paragraph? The visual editor doesn’t respond when I hit TAB at the beginning of a paragraph.

    Indenting the first line of a paragraph is a Print Custom, not a Web Custom. In Print, they indent with a single line break between paragraphs to save paper. No paper in Web, so there’s typically a double line break between paragraphs and no indent. So that is why it is not working. With that said there is a way around it. Take your self out of the Visual Editor and select the Text Editor. Before the text you want to indent try typing in the following       (that stands for 5 spaces in html). Make sure you update to save and then switch back to the Visual Editor. Hope that helps.
