Need help. i have serious difficulty setting a custom number list style. I want the numbers to be left align to the margin, and the paragraphs following the numbers to have a space of 0.3 from the label. In the list setting can you explain me: a. Text Align: 0.5 b. Label Align: 0.2 For me 'Label' should be set to 0 (zero) to align to the left margin, and 'Text' should be set to 0.3 (Text is the paragraph following the label, right? But do I count the distance from the left margin, or from the label?) Anyway, when change these values in the list window setting, the paragraph settings automatically change to: 'Left Indent' 1.27 cm and 'Hanging Indent' 1.27 cm - not good! I must do something wrong. If I revert these values in the paragraph window as 'Left Indent' and 'Hanging Indent' set to 0 (Zero) or set to 0.8 cm, that does not help. I can't align the labels to the left. They always end at > 1 cm on the right of the left margin. The only way I can change the default list values, i.e. Text align: 0.5 and Label align: 0.2, is to apply the default list formatting (bullet or number), then I go to the 'Format' menu > 'Bullet and Numbering' > 'List Properties', and there (and I don't know why?) if I change 'Text align' from 0.5 to 0.3 and 'Label align' from 0.2 to 0.0, then the output is correct. But I have to do that manually with all the lists I create. How can I set it as a custom style or as the default list style in the template? -- nomnex [Marc] <[email protected]> <+81-90-2106-1720> ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
