Paragraph indent help - Newbie

[Sorcerer]

Hello, 

I'm supporting a writer that used to use emacs, and is going back
to it. He's looking for a way to format paragraphs with an indent
at the start of each new paragraph. Are there any major-modes that 
support this already, or any documentation that I might read that 
deals specifically with word-processing style writing, instead of 
programming?

Any help at all would be appreciated.


Thanks
Lee
