Formatting question
I'm attempting to learn how to format what would
appear to be a "form" of an "ordered list". I've tried to understand the HELP text in that regard but so far haven't been able to determine the appropriate method. Example: Heading - blah blah blah initial as desired. ______ If you'd like to have this option take affect, indicate so by initialling here. ______ If you'd like this option, etc ______ Or this one, etc. When I free-form format such a block, the grammer check generates a litany of diagnostics, "extra spaces", "affect" should be capitalized (doesn't recognize the paragraph), etc. It's sort of like using a "bullet list" only the bullets need to be replaced by "multiple under-scores". So far, I've only been able to "customize" with "one" under-score using bullet lists. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill |

"hanging indent" is the name of the feature that makes the second line of
text be indented. Help is actually okay on how to set one up, look there.

And you can actually set this up as a "numbered list" if you're determined.
Use the underlines as literal text and "(none)" for the numbering style. -- Suzanne S.

Diaya's post fits my situation perfectly. However, I have
great use for the table/grid approach to another section of the document I'm working on. Thanks, Bill "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...

Suzanne, I see that works also. I did have to adjust the
"hanging indent" to get the paragraph to line up as I flowed to multiple lines. Thanks, Bill "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
