Thanks for the reply.  That is not exactly what I meant. It is more
like this:

1.  This is the first part of item 1
     The first word of this line is under the first word of the
previous line
2.   And so on
      And so on.


NOT like this:

1.  Here are items
that is completely left justified


Does that make sense?
