Default Adjusting list indents in multilevel lists

Hi,



Is there a way to dynamically adjust list indents for non-initial levels in multilevel lists based on the length of the level above?

For example, I need my second level to begin at about 5 pixels to the right of the number in my first level whether this number is 1 or 10,001. Something to this effect:

1 aaaaa
  • bbbbb

10,001 cccccc
      • dddddd

Can this be done at all in Word? Thank you.

Word doesn't adjust the indent automatically, no. You have to set up your list manually. See the article to which JimP has already provided a link.

I'm afraid the link above has nothing at all on the issue. Linking paragraph styles to list levels is no big mystery. What I can't figure out is how to make indents of the same level go progressively bigger automatically as the numbering in the level above goes from one digit to two (and then to three, four and so on) ...
