how do I format a numbered list where only first line is indented?
I like to use numbers for paragraphs in the same essential formatting as the
rest of the text: first line indented, the rest flush with all text. The only way I've figured how to do this is to laboriously format each list by clicking until I direct the software to indent only the first line (versus "hanging"). But I cannot save this style as a unique style, or alter the "list paragraph" style or the "normal" style or any other pre-made style - the modification isn't recognized. It's as if Word 2007 requires all numbered lists to have margins that line up with the number. Ridiculous! Does anyone have a work-around? (It's not a cure to turn off auto-numbering, because then you lose the ability to renumber the paragraphs automatically.) |

In the Define New Multilevel List dialog, you can set the indents for the
first and subsequent lines and link the number format to a style. -- Suzanne S.
