Hi eNGiNe,

Using a first-line setting with a negative indent should allow you to safely insert the icon, follwed by a tab before the text starts. If that's what your Style does (and your description suggests it), it should be OK. From the image attached to your initial post, I got the impression that the icon sat lower than the first line. AFAIK the workaround you're using won't do that, but that might be a small price to pay.
