Hi Rick,
you are right, that is strange. But let's see it as it is: -- We use a centered tab in the numbering and a high negative spread to get text after a run-in-paragraph to be positioned over this first paragraph. I think that is magic all the way. ---------------------------------- Ok, to give you a workaround: Pls find attached a new font file called bigbullet3. I have set the bullet character to only half the calculated width. You only have to switch the "bullet" format from bigbullet2 to bigbullet3 -- it works for both older and the new FM version 2015 (at least in my test file does this). The spread can remain as is (-42). Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin Rick Quatro: > Hello Framers, > > Anyone from Adobe monitoring the list?
