Hi,
Versions of JAWS starting with 6 allow you to turn on the ability to
automatically tell you if a line is indented and by how much. If you build
that into a sound scheme, you can switch to your homemade scheme and when
you arrow to the indented lines, JAWS will speak them and tell you about
the indentations. Alternatively, you can just go into the verbosity dialog
and turn it on and off if you don't want to go through the process of
making the sound scheme.
Thanks.

Hi Gary,
Generally, when the width of the page is the line-length
limiting factor, the text on the next line is indented. This gets
sticky when the poet indents lines for asthetic reasons as
well. Sorry I can't give you an answer that will always be true.
