Good Day All,



This is probably straightforward, but I have searched and cannot find an answer to this.

I am creating a document with many headings, sub-headings (4 layers) and bullet/number points. Within my main document the number bullets are vertically aligned, however, within the Navigation Pane, sporadically throughout the document, lists items are not aligned (vertically) and nothing I seem to do will align them. It is driving me crazy.

See the attached image 1 and 2.

Also, once I've finished drafting the document, is there an easy way to make sure all of the secondary/tertiary level margins are consistent. For some reason they are all over the place as well, and I really do not want to go through each individually and manually move the margins.

Attached image 3.

Thanks all, I appreciate your time :-)

Daniel

Look at the styles applied to the paragraphs. The variation you are seeing is due to the styles not being applied completely consistently.

If the styles are applied correctly but the indentation is still variable - select that content and press Ctrl-Q to remove local paragraph formatting.

To set indents for auto numbered items, you have to click the actual number so that Word selects it; then right-click and choose Adjust List Indents on the context menu. Word displays the Adjust List Indents dialog box. If you have set up a multilevel list, you'll see the Multilevel List dialog box.

Repeat the above procedure for additional lists.

Thank you kindly for your responses Andrew and Stefan. It must have been some sort of glitch. I just opened the document to give your suggestions a try, and things are aligned how they should be....

When I've finished the draft and want to tidy things up, I'll look at your tips RE getting the bullets and indentation consistent.

Much appreciated!
