Figure 245: Position settings for a List style
For each individual level, you can adjust the following settings. It is
generally easier to adjust the settings in the order given below, instead
of the order on the dialog box. That is, start from the overall
indentation for the list elements, then fix the position of the symbols,
and finally the alignment of the symbols.
• Numbering followed by: use this field to determine the
character to follow the numbering symbol. Choose between a tab
stop, a space, or nothing. If you select the tab stop, you can
specify the position of the tab.
• Indent at: this value determines how much space is reserved for
the numbering symbol, measured from the left page margin. Note
that the alignment of the first line of the list is also affected by
any tab you may have set to follow the numbering.
• Aligned at: this value determines the position of the numbering
symbol, measured from the left margin of the page.
• Numbering alignment: select in the drop-down menu how the
numbering (including any text before or after as set in the
Options page) should be aligned. The symbol alignment is
performed around the Aligned at value.
Note
When defining an indentation different from 0, the position of
the tabulation is not considered.
