Question

multi-level list step # alignment

Greetings all

How can I get my step numbers to align with the decimal point (for the rare occasions where a procedure has more than nine steps)?

Currently it looks like this:

   8.  blah blah................
        blah

   9.  yadda yadda..............
        yadda

   10. blah diddy blah..........
        d'oh!

I could increase the spacing between the number and the text, but then it looks too great for the majority of procedures with fewer than ten steps.

Two list styles? One for lists of 1 - 9, another for 1 - 10 or above?

From memory there is no control over making the numbers "right" aligned. Even if there were, you would then have lists further indented below 10. You're damned either way.

Thanks Peter, that’s what I thought. I think I’ll just try extra hard to avoid long procedures!
