I am trying to apply multilevel numbering to my document. However, as you can see in the picture attached the text and the numbers beginning from Level 4 onwards and Level 5 are too far away.
Can someone tell me on how to reduce the indentation of the text for both levels so that it would be just like at Level 2.


Thank you.

You could:
• Add a suitable tab stop; or
• change the 'Follow number with:' to a space,
for those levels. Both options are available on the dialog you've posted an image of.

Paul is correct.

Ideally, each level will be assigned to a separate paragraph style. Yours are not.
However, it is the tab setting for the paragraphs in your level five that matter.

Your screenshot shows the number at 1.9cm and the text at 2.5cm. This means that IF the numbers take up more than 6mm the text won't be able to sit at the 2.5 mark and it will have to instead move over to the next default tab stop position.

If you add enough text on one of those paragraphs so that it wraps to the next line you will see how the indent position is too close to the start of the number.

So 'counter-intuitively' the fix is to increase the 'text indent at' number to something that allows the digits and periods string to finish.
