Lining stuff up

[Craig Schiller]

Using Publisher 2007.

Why is it that when I have successive paragraphs using numbering, they
look right, as in:
1. blah blah blah blah
some more text here
2. blah blah blah blah
some more text here
3. blah blah blah blah
some more text here

But when I have successive paragraphs of bullets, it comes out like this
(and I can't find a way to line it up):
• First line of text here
Second line of text here
• First line of text here
Second line of text here
• First line of text here
Second line of text here

Is that just the way things are, or am I missing something?

TIA,
Craig

There is a dialogue in the Bullets and Numbering menu that lets you change the
indent. You can also use the indent bars on the ruler. Example here, scroll way
down

Mary -

Thanks for the reply. Ironically, my example didn't line up properly
when it went through the newsgroup, it appears. Let me try again.

Numbers are like this:

1. This line
Second line

Bullets are like this
* This line
Second line.

Hope that works. The point being that in numbering, the "S" in "Second
line" lines up right beneath the "T" in "This line".

I looked at your page, but I don't think the indent bars affect the
second line of text in a paragraph in Publisher. You can separate the
two lower parts of the bottom thingy on the indent bar in Word, and do
what I want to do. They don't appear to be separatable in Publisher.

I'm not following this very good. Are you wanting to go to the next line without
the number or bullet going along? Shift+Enter.
When I use a bulleted list I usually don't have a second line, when it is a long
sentence it will line up with the first line automatically.
Can you send me a sample of what you are trying to do?
