If you want to indent just the first line of each paragraph in a document, open up the document in Word for Android
Tap the Formating icon - this is the first icon shown in the blue bar at the top of the screen (looks like an A with a pencil)
Then tap the Paragraph Formatting option
Tap Special Indent
Tap First Line
This did not even answer the question posed. The question was how to insert a tab, not how to indent a paragraph.
Please, I also need tab characters, not formatting.
I was not able to find one but the best option is to move the cursor point manually or use a Bluetooth keyboard.
Not very elegant but functional, what i did was insert a table, select one empty cell, copy it, paste text only.
