Problem with wrap text & bullets

When using the wrap text feature (in this case tight), there is a problem that arises when wrapping around bullets:

Say I have some bullets like this:

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
- Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
- Cccccccccccccccccc

Then I choose to insert an image, and wrap text so the image appears to the left of the bullets:

- _____ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
SSSS - _____ Bbbbbbbbbbbbbb
- _____ Ccccccccccccc


As you can see it creates a gigantic space between the bullets and the actual words (shown by the underscores). I checked to see if there was anything wrong with the spacing of the bullets and it said they should be normal, but they clearly aren't.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems that this would prove to be a critical problem for people who want to design documents at professional levels.

Here's a screenshot:

Hi parasiteblue,

What you have there is normal behaviour with paragraphs that wrap around objects. You have bulleted paragraphs, with first line indents & tabs and Word is respecting those settings, even when the paragraphs have to start way to the right of the margins because of the inserted object. The second & subsequent lines go back as far as they can because they haven't reached their own indents. Not entirely consistent, I agree. Although you could work around this by playing around with the paragraph indents & tabs, I doubt you'd even get a result that everyone would agree on. If you want a more 'sensible' layout, the simple solution is to move the picture to the other side of the page.
