Multilevel list hanging indent
I created a 2007 Word file on XP with a multilevel list (1., 1.1., 1.2.,
1.2.1., 1.2.2. etc) where all numbers are left justified to the margin, and every paragraph has a hanging indent, where the first line of each paragraph starts at what looks like the first tab but all later lines of the paragraph start at the second tab. It looks great. I used it for a construction specification. I still have the file. I don't know how I did it and I cannot recreate it again in any new file. The style is Normal. I don't know that much so I could not have done anything fancy. I probably used control T in the process. How do I recreate this in new files? |

Multilevel list hanging indent
Making a template from the file I have and like, works! I shortened it to
three paragraphs, then I can copy as many new paragraphs as I want into the middle paragraph, and everything is formatted as I want. Thank you!

Multilevel list hanging indent
And if you ever need to modify your multilevel list in Word 2007, do the
following: Place the insertion point in the first level 1 paragraph of the list (if this is heading numbering, that means the first Heading 1 paragraph of the document). On the Home tab, click Multilevel List, and then click Define New Multilevel List. Word displays a dialog box similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003. Make the desired changes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sid mech engr" wrote in message ... Making a template from the file I have and like, works!

Thanks. I am saving these answers for next time I have to write one of these
formatted specifications, soon. Thanks.
