Brian,
I tried it, and it does not work. If I put a non-zero value in the Spacing to
Text field, then the decimal alignment breaks:
I can have this with Spacing to Text = 0
I. some text
II. some text
But when I set spacing to text = 1" (or some other value
I. some text
II. some text
Alignment is set to right in both cases. Also note in the second example, the
text is not aligned either because the numbers push it over to the right.
Maybe a bug?
BTW, I am using oo 2.03
Thanks for your suggestion!
