Christoph, This is what I did, and I noticed that Scribus set the second of the three spin widgets to a negative value. But, what I think is keeping it from working is that I have a checkmark from a different typeface in front of the first line. A bullet, if you will. So, when I change the paragraph style it moves the bullet to the right the specified distance and the second line is aligned directly under that. In ASCII art: - This is the first line and this is the second line. What I want is this: - This is the first lien and this is the second line. And I just found the appropriate place in the Wiki to show me how to do it. I was very close: I used spaces rather than a tab between the bullet and the text. All's OK now. > If you can reproduce this behaviour, you should file a bug report. Er, ... not deliberately. :-) It happened and > Did you save the document before the crash? Sure enough! I learned this about computers decades ago. :-) Many thanks, Rich -- Richard B. Shepard, Ph.D. | Author of "Quantifying Environmental Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
