Hi, Steve:
I'm replying as it was me who raised this point. To be honest, I
didn't consider issues of 'better' or 'worse', but merely reacted to
the proofreader's slight surprise that right-alignment was not used.
Proofreader works on paper, knows nothing about FrameMaker, or even
that it was

Is it better that the numbers are right-aligned? This seems more of an
accounting requirement than a design one. With left alignment, the numerals
for either the single-digit steps or the double-digit steps do not line up
with the left margin grid. If, as in my template, the step format aligns

Wow list! Thanks to Zoe, Bill, Yves, Art and Robert for a plethora of
lightning-fast answers, all more or less advocating the same thing. And thanks
also for my first mental 'Duh!' moment of the week ;-)

Sure Steve, piece of cake.
Proceed as follows:
1. Change the numbering of your number list tag into something like this:
N:\t\t
2. Make sure that the first tab stop is right-aligned (e.g. 8 mm R) and the
second is left-aligned (e.g. 12 mm L).
3. Check your Left Indent and make sure that it

Create your step paragraph with a right aligned tab for the number and then
a left aligned tab for the text.
Set your numbering to:
/t./t
That should work theoretically (I haven't tested it, just what I think
should work ;-)

You're probably using a single "left" tab stop to separate the number
from the text. You need to use two, one right-aligned to force the
sequence you want.
Add a "right" tab stop to the Basic para tag tab and also add it to
the Numbering sequence, so it looks something like: \t.\t

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
Insert a right-aligned tab for the numbering sequence.
Our numbering sequence is:
S:\t< >< >< >.\t
