Default Space between numbering

Hello everybody,



I've got one more question in addition my older thread. How do I decrease the length of the space between the end of the numbering and the start of the sentence? I'd like the length to be the same as the picture with the blue circle and the red circle is how it is now (both examples in the appendix). Please keep in mind that I'm using my own heading and modified numbering list. More information in the appendix.

Old thread: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...fter-word.html

Thanks in advance!

Open up the dialogue box where you define the multilevel list and set the follow number with. There are three options: nothing, a tab, or a space.

If you are using the option to put a tab character after the number/bullet symbol, you can adjust the settings as follows in the Multilevel List dialog box:
  • The "Aligned at" option determines the position of the number/bullet symbol.
  • "Add tab stop at" determines the position of the text following the number/bullet symbol on the first line of the numbered/bulleted paragraph.
  • "Text indent at" determines the position of the second and subsequent text lines in the paragraph.
  • If you want a hanging indent, the value for "Text indent" should be identical to that of "Add tab stop at" (and the value should be larger than "Aligned at").
