Update.
There are three of us that use Publisher for our Parish Magazine, and we explored this issue at a meeting today. One of my colleagues realised that I was setting the indents using the Paragraph panel. If you set them using the Text Frame panel, then if you past in a Word document using Right Click>Paste, the text does stick to the indents. Problem solved.

Walt,
Test afpub file is attached, which has one page with two Text Frames.
As you can see, I created the top Text Frame, and set the Indents and Space after Paragraph using the Paragraph Spacing Panel (2 left, 2 right, and 5 after).
I then created the bottom Text Frame, and it automatically created it with the same Indent and Space attributes, which bears out Thomaso's comment, above.
If you paste in the first paragraph from the Word document I attached previously, you will see that it behaves exactly as the screenshots I provided. Interestingly, this time Edit/Paste without Format did give the desired effect, but I've never had to use that before.
Regards,
Chris.

Walt, we're talking about exactly the same thing, it's just the way I'm describing it. The only difference between what you get, and what I'm currently getting, is the top horizontal red line when you start, which has stopped working for some reason, making it more difficult to get the cross in exactly the right place.

It occurred to me that I could upload the file they sent me, so that other people can try it, so here it is.
