Hi
I have a numbered list and I would like to give a tab char before the number. Something like this:
Existing:
=======
(1) Item 1
(2) Item 2
What I want:
==========
A tab char, then (1) Item 1
A tab char, then (2) Item 2
How would I GREP the before of the number. ^\(\d\) is not working. Its saying "no match found"
Thanks and regards
You can or at least should.
If you can't add a Tab then use a Left Indent.
Ha - just tried it and it won't allow it - bit silly
Anyway
Use the left indent in the options -and a negative indent to line up your lines.

You have a numbered list as it's done in the paragraph style?
Go to the Paragraph Style and Bullets and Numbering and insert a Tab before the numbering.

What kind of numbering do you use?
Numbering in paragraph format?
Numbering via the control bar?
Numbering that have been converted to text by menu command?

I am using numbering from paragraph style menu.

Hi @shahidr100 ,
instead of a tab before the auto number use an indent for the whole paragraph and a different indent for the first line.
Do that in the applied paragraph style.
