APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q142346

SYMPTOMS

Numbered or bulleted items do not align correctly when the following conditions exist:
  • "Alignment of List Text" is set to Right.
  • "Distance from Number to Text" setting is greater than 0 inches.
To locate these options, click Bullets And Numbering on the Format menu, and then click Modify.

CAUSE

There is not enough space for the numbered or bulleted items to be right aligned when the "Distance from Number (or Bullet) to Text" is greater than 0 inches. This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION

To allow the text to align correctly, increase the hanging indent for the bulleted or numbered items.
