Hello,
A big thanks to everyone who responded. The solutions you provided
where
dead-on. Setting up a right-aligned tab stop to get the decimal points to
line up, then
setting up a left-aligned tab stop to set spacing between the decimal point
and the
text that followed was exactly what I was looking for. I reduced the number
of paragraph
tags I needed from three to one!
For anyone else that might be looking for a solution like this, here's what
I ended up with (in a nutshell):
In Paragraph Designer, on the Basic Sheet:
*Tab Stops*:
-----------
.5 R (this corresponds to the first tab on the Numbering sheet)
.6 L (this corresponds to the second tab on the Numbering sheet)
*Under Indents:
*--------------
First = 0
Left = .6 (this should match the Left tab stop setting so that all lines in
the
paragraph line up with the first line of the paragraph)
On the Numbering Sheet:
S:\t<n+>.\t
Thanks,
Andy

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
