Outline Numbered list
When I use Capital Roman Numerals for my level 1 why does it tab so far over
when you get to Roman Numeral 7. I tried to fix it using the tab distance between the bullet and the text but this will not work. How do I bring the text closer to the bullet? |

Most probably this really is a problem with your tab setting: the "VII" brings you farther to the right than the intended tab stop and hence the next tab kicks in. Simply enhance the tab value (through the numbering property of your style), and you should be fine.

You were taking the right tack in changing the tab setting, but you must do
this in the Bullets and Numbering dialog, not in the Tabs dialog, and the setting you must change is "Tab space after." But note that if your roman numerals are right-aligned (as they should be), you may also want to increase the "Aligned at" setting to allow the longest numeral to clear the margin. This actually makes it easier for you: by right-aligning the numerals, you define where you want them to end; then all you have to do is allow a reasonable amount of space between that setting and the "Tab space after" setting (which will likely be the same as the "Indent at" setting). -- Suzanne S.
