You need to use the multilevel list dialog to change the indents, not the paragraph formatting or style formatting.

How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly



Shauna uses the built-in heading styles, but you can set up your own styles with outline levels set.

That looks like exactly what I need. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi there

We have been using a fully customised List Style (up to 6 levels) as explained in the link posted above for some years now.

Today, I was asked to right aligned automatic numbering of list. I thought that changing settings (from "left" to "right") in List style would do but no, it doesn't!

When I select "Right", you can see that the tab is disappearing and following automatic numbering (when I press Enter) don't have a tab neither. Oh yeah, and when I press "Tab" to create the tab, sure it goes to second level (the way it should be).

So I am stuck. I have tried different settings in "follow number with" or "Tab stop at", etc. but I keep getting numbers right aligned but without a tab after.

Any hep would be welcome.
(I have continued this thread as topic is same; if new thread need to be created, let me know)

Thanks

Since all measurements are relative to the left margin, a lot of "tweaking" will be required to get this right.

I recommend that you start a new thread for this question.
