Left-aligning lists

Question

I have a style for procedural steps called ProcStep. It's
simply a numbered list with paragraph formatting above and below
and the left-margin set to 0. However, when the style is applied,
the numbered list is indented (the default). I want the numbers to
be aligned with the left margin. Right now I am telling writers to
click the Decrease Indent button but I really would like to
eliminate this step by aligning it in the style itself. I tried
modifying the "lists" style as well but with no luck. Any info is
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Charlotte

Take a look at the code. It may be that the ordered list does not have the correct class assigned like <ol class="ProcStep"></ol>. My experience has been that using a separate editor (Dreamweaver) makes it easier to control the html code and keep it clean than when trying to edit within RoboHelp.

Another possibility may be that the style sheet default.css (or whatever yours is named) does not have the properties for the ordered list set up the way you expected.
