I'm a novice who's just installed mint. I can't format when using points to automatically indent further each time a subpoint

added. Instead the starting place for each line remains at the same indent and it also skips half a line each time I hit

  enter. If I select clear formatting it works but changes the font and size. Not a problem I had with Ubuntu. Any idea

what to d? Please keep it simple as I am not tech smart.

Thanks
