Steve,
Simple solution. In Autonumbering add a tab before and after the entry.
In the tab settings make the first tab a right aligned tab and the
second tab a left aligned tab. We usually put .15" in between the tabs
and have the whole list indented .25". Adjust tab spacing as needed if
you run into lists with three digits.

On seeing some FrameMaker output, an experienced proofreader has commented on
the fact that for numbered lists that run into two digits, the numbers are
left-aligned, rather than right-aligned - the implication is that, for example,
'9' should be aligned above the '0' of '10'.
I must admit that this thought had not crossed my mind before, but of course
it's true. I've just checked a book set in Quark, and list numbers do indeed
right-align. As FrameMaker can only apply justification at the paragraph tag
level, and not at the character tag level, I cannot see a simple method of
achieving the desired alignment.
Does anyone have any ideas?
