Azzy Thread Starter. Joined Jan 17, Messages Hi, I'm having a problem in Word. When I am creating a numbered list and my numbers reach , the words get pushed about the space of a tab key press to the right. As if it's being indented. Here's an image to explain:.
Joined Oct 20, Messages 7, Fantastic - it worked like a charm. One more thought before we move on--use numbered lists correctly. A numbered list, by its nature implies that the number of items or the order of those items has meaning. A list of simple facts, where neither order nor number have meaning is a bulleted list, not a numbered list. You can turn what might otherwise be a bulleted list by forcing a number into the mix, as I've done with our example list. Remove the word Seven from the title and you have a bulleted list!
You can change all three settings, but they aren't on the Numbering option's dropdown, where you might expect them. To access these options, right-click the numbers not the list and choose Adjust List Indents from the resulting submenu, as shown in Figure C. In the resulting dialog, adjust the appropriate settings. For example, in Figure D , you can see that I've transposed the first two settings.
Figure E shows the new settings in place. If the ruler is enabled, you can also see that the left tab the feature uses moved accordingly. You could change the Follow number with option Figure D from a Tab character to spaces, but I don't recommend doing so unless you have a specific reason for doing so--and you seldom will. If you choose Nothing from this setting, Word ignores the Text indent setting. After adding a few more facts, as shown in Figure F , you might notice something new--the two-digit numbers don't align with the previous one-digit numbers.
You could leave the list as is, but most likely you'll want to adjust it. Leaving it as is makes the reader uncomfortable; it's simply not as readable as it should be. We expect numbers to align using the period character or the right-most digit if there's no punctuation.
Fortunately, the alignment setting is easier to find than indent and spacing settings; you'll create a right-aligned number format as follows:. Numbering basics are easy, but numbered lists can be much more complex. Over the next few months, we'll look at some common numbering problems and their solutions.
