Hi,

Remove the text-indent property from the style. You may need to amend the margin of the paragraph as well, otherwise you'll have a rather large indent from text to paragraph.

(text-indent only sets the indent for the first line of a paragraph.)

Hi William:

I removed the text-indent property, and here is the generated result:

The following issues are now present:

  • The hanging indent for the second line is way off - how do I fix that?
  • It appears the bullet character has moved.  I base this conclusion on the paragraph that follows the bulleted line.  This paragraph should line up with the text in the bulleted line (for example, the word 'The' should line up with the word 'Open').

The CSS now looks like this:

Any suggestions???
