Alignment of numbered lists


Recommended Posts

Greetings people,

While I was working on a document I came across this option for text styles:
Alignment of Numbering.

I was hoping to be able to set the Alignment of a list to the right side of a text field (not only the text of the item but the number too -> see second image).
So i tested the marked option, but it changes nothing, as i can tell. So it results in my first Question: What is this option for?

Andthe second question: Is there a way i can achieve this with numbered lists?: (I know it probably looks ugly for now - but i have a different use for that)

I hope you can help me with that.
Cheers!

You could try putting a Tab before the number (\#) in the Text field.

It's for right-aligning the marker (bullet or number). I explained this in my manual (free download from the link in my signature below). Here's a screenshot of the example I gave in it:

As Walt stated, you'll need to add a Tab in the Text field and I recommend removing the tab after the period and replacing it with a space. It should look like this (you can't see it but there's a space after the period):

You will also have to right-align the paragraph and create a right-aligned tab stop set to 0 from right. 

Here's a quick sample document showing this.

I didnt even had to set a right-aligned tab, it just worked fine with the right alignment only.



Thanks a lot again
