Demote Numbering problem...

[Joey_R]

Hi Guys,

I wish there was a dedicated to MS word forum like MRExcel...

I have a problem with my numbering.

When using outline numbering I have the following happening?

Using 1. - 1.1 - 1.1.1

1. One
2. Two
when I enter - I get 3. but when I want to demote it indents the cursor and leaves the number 3 fluch against the left margin - please help!!!!

Thanks
Jo

In Word, go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat as you type Tab | place check in box that says "Set Left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces"
That should do the trick. HTH Larry
