Jim,
Hanging indents can be an frustrating experience at first. I have found
that using a TAB instead of a [space] makes all the difference in getting
things lined up. Use a TAB to position the 1. then a second TAB between it
and the text.
[TAB]1.[TAB]text of the paragraph.
The paragraph TAG I used before this reply to refresh things went like
this.
Margins: From Box unchecked for this one, and I set a right margin of .5
to make paragraph brought in tight in center of full page box which had a
1" border all around it. I had Hanging bulleted and .75 set in box to
right of it. The Tabs: box was unchecked, and the TAB settings I used for
test were 1. 0.50, 2. 0.75. The rest I left alone, since I only needed
the two TABS. I then imported some text, NEWLOREM.TXT, into the page and
set about hanging the indents on each paragraph. I set all tags at one
time, went in to first line TAB over once typed 1.[TAB] and the paragraph
body text all adjusted for me. I did each paragraph this way and it all
lined up. The trick it seems is adjusting the TABS and staying away from
using the space bar.
Hope this helps some,
Chris
