You can always define tab stops on a paragraph style level. The "trick"
goes like this:

1- Define a paragraph style with "space before" at, say, 3cm, a negative
indent of -3cm (both under Space and and indenting) and a left aligned tab
stop at 3cm (under Tabs)

2- On a paragraph with that style applied, type the Name, press tab (only
once) and start typing :) You'll get something like this

Each time you start a new paragraph you only need one tab stop to get the
text aligned to the desired "margin".
