How can I indent the paragraphs which follow a heading?

I'm using the report class in LaTeX and when I use, say

\section{Foo}
This is a section about Foo.

I get (arrows indicate white space)

1.1 -> Foo

This is a section about Foo.

When what I REALLY want (don't judge me, I just do) is:

1.1 -> Foo

----> This is a section about Foo.

(i.e. the text "This is a section about Foo" is vertically aligned with Foo, not with 1.1. I also want the rest of the paragraph indented across (not just the first line).) How do I do this?

    Hi Hugh, Welcome to TeX.SE! How about putting the 1.1 in the margin? That seems like it would be easier, and would have a very similar visual result. If so, have a look at theorem-name-numbering-in-margin and the links within – cmhughes Sep 05 '12 at 15:16
  • @Hugh Your question has been marked as a duplicate of another one, but there is also a second possible duplicate suggested by cmhughes. Could you let us know which is more useful for you (if indeed you do agree that this is a duplicate)? I can then make sure that the 'right' one is linked. – Joseph Wright Sep 05 '12 at 20:56
