Answers as of 2003 (haven't looked at 2007/VistaOffice)... 1. No, but you can select them, either intentionally or unintentionally, creating all sorts of fun surprises. 2. A few possibilities here. It depends how unaligned they are in print, what print driver was used, what printer was used, etc. First look at the tab ruler (the ruler with all the sliders up in the toolbar area). Those sliders have their own strange behavior and they can get all screwed up if you don't have your wits about you. Use them to set your hanging indents for each bullet level. Define bullets as part of the level, rather than manually typing bullets and spacing or tabbing to start the text. On the printing end, what you want to avoid is GDI-based output. So your best bet is with a PostScript printer. What this means in practice, if your office printer is a PCL printer, is that you first print to AdobePDF and then print the PDF on the physical printer. That should solve the problem.
