From: Stefan Blom on 10 Apr 2010 13:50 You are absolutely right. Very good point! In Word 2007, there are two possible culprits: "Don't use hanging indent as tab stop for bullets and numbering" and/or "Don't add automatic tab stop for hanging indent." In Word 2003, only the latter option exists. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
