Operation Manual

2) Set the Indent, which is the spacing between the bullet or number and the text. If you
select the Relative option, the indent value will be measured relative to the previous level
and not from the margin.
3) Set the measurement for Width of numbering. This is the space to leave between the
numbering or bullet point and the text.
4) Set the Numbering alignment, which is normally only used on a numbered list. Setting this
option does not set the alignment of the text.
– Select Left to align the numbering at the left edge of the alignment space for
numbering.
– Select Right to align the numbering at the right edge of the alignment space for
numbering.
– Select Centered to align the numbering in the center of the alignment space for
numbering.
5) Click OK to save your changes.
To revert back to the default values of the list, click Reset.
Tip
To fully appreciate how Numbering alignment works, create a numbered list with
more than ten elements, making sure there is enough room for two (or more)
numerical characters using the Width of numbering field. Select Right alignment and
the right edge of the numbers will form a neat, straight line before the text.
Customizing
Use the Customize page (Figure 217) to customize the style of all the outline levels. The options
available on this page depend on the type of marker selected for the list.

1) Select first the level you want to modify on the left hand side of the box. To modify all levels
at once, select 1 – 10 as the level. With levels being arranged in a hierarchical structure,
changing, for example, the font attribute of one of the levels ripples through all the lower
levels.
