Hi all - I recently posted a question regarding bullets and hanging indents,
and exchanged ideas with Suzanne Barnhill (copied below - Thanks, Suzanne!).
Unfortunately Suzanne's suggestions have not solved the problem, and I'm
hoping to get other suggestions on this issue. I'm using Office 2003 with
Windows XP.

Thank you!
Vrin

Hi Suzanne - I spoke too soon. This appeared to fix the problem, but then
somehow indents are magically appearing back in the Paragraph dialog box.
There appear to be some built-in settings that I don't know how to change.
Even though I clear all the Paragraph settings, then re-set the indents using
the Numbering dialog box, the paragraph settings keep re-appearing once I
close out of the Numbering dialog.

Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Try setting all the indents in the Paragraph dialog to 0". Then go into the
Bullets dialog and change them to something entirely different from what
they currently are. Then go back and change them to what you want them to
be. Does that help at all?

Hi Suzanne - Yes, it does. I'm stumped on this one - I can't figure it
out.

Thanks,

Hi Suzanne,

Yes, that's what I thought. However, when I set the "Aligned at" to
..4,
the
"Text Position-Tab Space After" to .65, and the "Text Position-Indent
at"
to
.65, the second line of text is actually more like .67.

I'm having trouble pinpointing where this is happening and how to make
the
second and subsequent lines of text line up with the first line of
text
after
the bullet.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

First-line and hanging indents set in the Bullets and Numbering

always override those set in the Paragraph dialog.

Hi - I'm working with Word 2003, trying to set up a document with
three
levels of bullets. I managed to set up the bullets just fine
using
Shauna
Kelly's "How to control bullets in MS Word" but when I go to use
the
bullet
styles the hanging indents do not match what I set up in the
Numbering
dialog
box. They are somehow conflicting with the settings in the Format
Paragraph
dialog box.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

All right, after several hours of trying to fix this issue, I realized where
the problem is. List Number style included an additional tab setting of .6,
which conflicted with the Paragraph and Numbering settings. Once I removed
the tab setting of .6 and retained only .65, the hanging indents lined up.
Hope this helps others that might be having the same problem.
