spacing between bullet and first letter

Unread post by Francis Langlois »

Is there a way to increase the spacing or set it to a fixed tab? I don't see any change if I change the underlying paragraph style or set a tab stop in the paragraph style.

Once again, the answer is right under my nose. Thanks, Tim.

This is exactly what I need. Not sure how I missed it. :D

I understand this much better. I still don't see how to apply the bullet or numbering automatically to the list by including that in a style. There is no "List Paragraph" like there is in word. Is that correct?

Also, there is no easy way to re-number a list that I have discovered. Did I miss that too? In Word, you right click the number and say "restart" or "continue".

That's correct. There are no list styles in Help & Manual at the moment. To change the list style you need to click in the first item of the list and then select a different list style with the list tool (click on the menu arrow next to the tool and select a style directly, or open up the full dialog. With multi-level lists you need to select the entire list before doing this to be able to change it.
Also, there is no easy way to re-number a list that I have discovered.
Click in the item where you want numbering to restert, open the Bullets and Numbering dialog and select the Restart Numbering option. Also see this topic in the help:
