who do lists in word not keep indents consistent?
In a numbered list, I keep encountering random changes in indent settings
part of the way through a document. For example, if I have a) as the fifth level set with indents at 2.0 and 2.25 at the outset, for no apparent reason, in the middle of the document, word will suddenly start indenting level a) at 2.5 and 2.75. I've spend hours fiddling with this, to no avail. It really destroys the format of an outlined list when the same level is indented at random points throughout the document. |

To set up the numbering in your documents properly, see the following page
of fellow MVP Shauna Kelly's website: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html If you create a template to hold your numbering scheme, you can use that template as the basis for new documents (using File New) and the new documents will then inherit your numbering scheme. To do that, see: Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm Creating a Template (Part II) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
