List numbering loses indent Hammster 23.08.2006 17:10:02 I'm using Word 2003 Version 11 and when I use numbered indents, the first 2 numbers indent just fine. Then the 3rd number goes back to the original margin location. Subsequent numbers stay out at the margin and don't indent. If I backspace the line up to the previous line and press return then the indent takes. Help!!!

Re: List numbering loses indent Hammster 24.08.2006 13:35:02 Suzanne. I have tried and tried to define the indent properly. (Whatever that means) and I still have the problem. Tell me what "define the indent properly" means. I've used the autonumbering style where you just select the autonumbering and which style you want to use. It's not working. What else can I try? Please give me details as to what to do to fix this. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

Re: List numbering loses indent "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 24.08.2006 15:45:53 See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. Note that the styles come first. Don't try to set this up through Format | Bullets and Numbering. Start with Modify Style. Left, first-line, and hanging indents for a numbered paragraph must be set in the Numbering dialog, not in the Paragraph dialog (but you can set the right indent there). -- Suzanne S.
