View Full Version : Numbered lists with hanging indents

When writing a list of numbered questions in Word, I drag the little 'hanging indent' tab in about a centimetre. I also set my spacing to 6 points.

This produces a tidy little numbered list in which the questions are separated by about half of a line, and word-wrapped text automatically lines up with the hanging indent tab.

To achieve the same effect in AS, I have to press [Enter] after each line and then manually tab. I also add a blank line between each question, add a space to the blank line and then change the font size of that line from say 18 pt to 9 points.

And if I decide to change the font size or the width of the text box, I have to do it all again.

Can we please have a choice of spacing, and hanging indents in a future version of AS?

Pretty please?

Cheers

Rex

Hi Rex,
Just to let you know, there is a new page in the help file (for Activstudio version 3) about creating bullet points and numbered lists. I can't tell from what you say whether you've found it or not...

It doesn't quite deal with the points you make, but it could be useful..

Search for bullet in the help files.

Version 3 does have improved bullet list capability - are you on 3 yet Rex?
