Justified numbered paragraph
Hi
I have a paragraph that is numbered. The first line has 4 words then there are two soft returns (ctrl enter) then the main body of the paragraph which I need justified. However when I do justify the main body the first line also justifies and looks stupid. I'm sure there is a simple answer but I'm unsure if I should be formatting this in a different way, or is there an option I haven't found? Thanks in advance G |

You need two separate styles - one for the numbered part of the paragraph,
and one for the main justified part. Format the first style with the correct space after, and with 'Keep with next' set the paragraph settings. Set the 'following style' to the main paragraph style. You will then style the first 4 words (to number), press *one* return, and carry on typing in the main paragraph style (applied automatically). -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Gaz uk" wrote in message news Hi I have a paragraph that is numbered.

Margaret has described the correct way to do this; if you want a
quick-and-dirty solution, press Tab at the end of the first line before pressing Enter. -- Suzanne S.
