Need Help Formatting a Numbered List in MS Word
Subject: Need Help Formatting a Numbered List in MS Word
Can anyone help me do the following:
I want to do a numbered list (i.e. an IMPRESSION: section), so that:
The numbers are flush left again the margin; and -
Each entry is indented a few spaces (a few spaces to the right of the numbers in the list). If one entry in the list goes for more than a single line, I want the second line of that entry to ALSO be indented -- so that it does not sit underneath a number and does not look good. Every time I try to use the MS Word numbering feature, it pushes the whole list (including the numbers) to the right, so that the numbers themselves are no longer flush agains the left margin.
Thank you very much. Willing to call someone too if they can help me. Very important.

MS-Word help. numbered lists
Subject: MS-Word help. numbered lists
Wasn't sure which board to post this on. Will try here. I've just reinstalled MS-Word. Previously, I had it set up to create numbered lists as soon as I typed a number, two spaces, and began typing text. After that, every time I hit ENTER, the list would continue numbering. I've gone to the bullets and numbering menu, and I can get the automatic numbered lists turned on. My problem is that every list is indented, but I want the lists to be flush with the margin. I can right click on the list and select "decrease indent", and that moves everything over, but I'd like to get rid of that step. Previously I had it set up to do all of that automatically. I just can't remember how to set that up now.
I hope I described this problem clearly. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it!

if that is what he dictates, then I would use mph, or you can also spell it out miles per hour, both are acceptable, sometimes also depends on the client preference. If you spell it out though, you can get more characters for your line count!
