From: Stefan Blom on 3 Dec 2009 03:33 You may have to experiment a little to get exactly what you want. For example, if you want the bullet at the left margin, choose zero for "Bullet position"; you can then specify 0.25" for "Text indent" and "Add tab stop at" (this assumes of course that "Tab character" has been selected for "Follow number with"). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "artsyannie" <artsyannie(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:03159E6F-27A2-4C39-9319-A61FB234B3A3(a)microsoft.com... >I tried this on my document and it didn't change the 2nd line indent.
