Andy,
Here's how I do it: Set up the Autonumber format for both tags with a tab, then
the numbering "building block" and decimal point, then another tab, as in the
following example:
N:\t<n+>.\t
Make the first tab a right tab and the second a left tab. Don't indent the
first line, but set the second line indent to match the second (left) tab. A
little experimentation will show you the right sizes for the tabs and the
indent.

Hello,
I'm writing a step procedure that involves over 10 steps. I
have set
up one paragraph tag named
StepFirst, and another paragraph tag (for all subsequent steps) named
StepNext. The problem is, the
decimal points won't line up between the single-digit steps and the
double-digit steps.
One solution I used was to create a paragraph tag named
StepNexta
(with a first indent of .5 and a
left indent of .72) for steps numbered 1-9, and another tag named
StepNextb
(with a first indent of .4 and a
left indent of .7) for all numbered steps above 9. This allows all
decimal
points to line up. Is this an acceptable
way of getting the decimal points to line up, or is there a better way
to do
this?
Thanks,
Andy
