I want Word to automatically number some paragraphs, but I want the paragraphs to be entirely consistent with the other paragraphs, namely, only the first line id idented (by 0.5″). See the attached document. Thanks.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 22, 2004 at 12:40 pm #772229Auto-numbering without indentation:
Select the text, go to Format>Bullets and Numbering>Numbered, select the first template, click on Customize and adjust Aligned at (in your document that would be 1,25) and Indent at 0.But: Auto-numbering only applies to successive paragraphs. In your document there are paragraphs “in-between”. If you replace the paragraph marks with manual line breaks you won’t have any indentation for the next line (see Attachment). So manual numbering is the better solution, especially if you have so few items you want to number.
Hope it helps you,
