You need to read the Indiana Trial Rules and respond in a manner that is consistent with the rules. You might try reading all of the rules if you are handling a case without counsel. If you did not know how to tune up a car and decided to do so anyway, wouldnt you read a manual?
Law is no different. You can find the rules as well as the local rules for the county where the case is pending at the Indiana Judiciary Website. Good luck.
The Court has decided that whatever you submitted was not sufficient to comply with certain rules insofar as being a proper or adequate response to the other side's pleadings. I don't know what the pleading is, but realize that there are rules concerning deadlines, too, and sometimes you only have a certain amount of time to file some things.
