A better way to handle the problem is to NOT use a tab.  Change the "Left"
indent instead.  The "First" indent in the Format>Paragraph... panel
refers to the first line of the tagged item.  The Left indent refers to
all subsequent lines.  If the First indent is 0.0", and the Left is 1.0",
you should get the desired effect.

The indents can be changed either by typing in the correct measurement in
the Format>Paragraph panel or by clicking on the bottom triangle in the
ruler and sliding it to the desired location (easier).  Be sure to apply
the change to the item and the catalog, however, regardless of which
method was used to set the change.

Hope this helps.
