Styles, yet again
Hi. I made myself up an arrow bullet style, and it works pretty good. However, when I want to just indent one of a set of arrow bullets by increase indent, the arrow changes to a Roman numeral. I can't understand why that is happening. The same thing happened when I tried to indent by increase indent an open bullet style bullet. I hope I set the styles up right - I based it on "no style" and the paragraph to follow is "normal" in the hopes that this would prevent things I don't understand from happening. I have made sure the "automatically update" is not ticked anywhere. I am starting to think I would be better off just applying direct formatting and use the format painter to my document; it is not something that really would change over time, i.e. heading styles or numbering fomat etc. The other thing I noticed is that if I change the margins of a page and have a centered heading style, the centered heading does not re-center to accommodate the new margin. Thanks for any help! Colleen. -- Colleen |

Hi Colleen,

Every "number format" has nine levels, even if it looks as if it has only the one. So when you "increase indent" you're also telling Word to move to the next numbering level. That's why you're getting the Roman numeral. What do you WANT to see when you "increase indent"? The same bullet? A different bullet? No bullet at all?

Hi. I simply wanted to move the arrow out a bit, keeping the same bullet but indenting it a bit. Cindy M -WordMVP- Wrote: Hi Colleen, I made myself up an arrow bullet style, and it works pretty good.

Hi Colleen,
You could put the arrow bullet in all 9 list levels, with the position/indent/tab increasing each level. Say "Level 1" at position 0, and both tab and left indent at 5mm, "Level 2" at position 5 mm, and both tab and left indent at 10mm, "Level 3" at position 10 mm, and both tab and left indent at 15mm, .... Right now your list template seems to have the arrow bullet at "level 1", a roman numeral on "level 2", ... Regards, Klaus "Colleen E" wrote: Hi.
