default bullets are indented, shouldn't be

[kmaddox1]

I recently converted my RH6 projects to RH7. So far, everything is working well except for one minor problem: all my bulleted and numbered list items are now indented from the left about 18 px. (The bullets and numbers used to be aligned with Normal). To create these lists, I simply styled the paragraph as Normal, then used the bullet and numbered list icons on the RH tool bar.

Since I don't remember ever setting up a default indent (or lack of one) for bullets and numbers, I'm not sure how to "undo" the indent. That is, where do I define that list-style=decimal and list-style=disc should be aligned left? The Bullets and Numbering form lets me choose the bullet or number style, but not the indent. And since I simply use Normal, I never defined an indent in my style sheet.

Surely there's an automatic way to un-indent everything--what am I missing?

Kathy,

Go to Format > Styles, and in the left box, expand the Other category. Do you see a Lists item? If so, select it, and look at the description under the Character preview box on the right to see if there is a left margin specified. You can change the indent by clicking the Format button, going to Paragraph, and putting a value in the Left box under Indentation. See if that changes your lists' margin.

Hope this helps,

Ben

Yes, that seems to have done the trick. Thanks so much! I never explored that Other category before...
