No indent for items i, j, and l in Numbered Outline
I use Word 2003, but I saw the same problem with the previous version.
Basically, I have a numbered outline that is part of a defined style. Here's how it looks: a. blah b. blah c. blah d. blah e. blah f. blah g. blah h. blah i. blah j. blah k. blah l. blah m. blah I have defined the outline to place one space after the letter number. The "Text Position" settings are both 0.75" and "Aligned at" is 0.5." I have to add 3 spaces to the i, j, and l items to get them to line up. |

I'm guessing that I, J and L are formatted using a different numbering style.
Select the I and if it only highlights I, J and L, that's the problem. "Erik" wrote: I use Word 2003, but I saw the same problem with the previous version.

The only explanation I can think of doesn't match your description, but it
would be that you've got a tab character after the number, and the style has a tab stop set very close to the left margin. Most of the characters are wide enough to overrun that tab stop, but i, j, and l are narrow and don't. If you're using simple numbering (as oppposed to outline numbering) Word doesn't allow you to specify the character after the number, so you do have a tab whether you know it or not. -- Suzanne S.

Nope. It's all the same style, same outline settings.

It still looks to me very much like a tab settings problem, given the width
of i, j, and l compared to the other letters. -- Suzanne S.
