bullets and paragraph

[drum118]

I have a number of pages with number bullets and paragraph that are
indented and want to change various paragraphs indent as renumbering
them.

Every time I highlight a number of these paragraphs to change them to
what I want them to be, it changes the whole document. When I do get
some of it to change the way I want it, I few lines are indenting more
than I want it to be.

How do I fix the problem so the whole document does not change and get
the paragraph and bullets to line up?

Also, when I made the change, I have a hugh white space of almost a 1/4
page from the last regualer paragraph to start of the bullets. Any
reason for this?

This is what I have now:
Page is setup for 1" borders;

Paragraph set to .3 with hanging at .55
Bullet is 1.1.xx set to alignment .3 indent .85
There is no line space after each paragraph.

What I want is to change some of these paragraphs to:

Paragraph set to .0 with hanging at .5
Bullet is 1.1.xx set to alignment .3 indent .85
Paragraph set to .5 with hanging at .5
Bullet is 1.1.xx set to alignment .5. indent .1.

It should look like this:

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

1.1.XXs,s,s,text:

I find the simplest way for this sort of thing is to use the format paint.
Put the cursor in the para with the format you want, click the Paint Format
button, and drag across the para whose format you want to change to the
correct one.

This also goes for numbering paras which don't seem to behave as you want.
Painting formats is a great tool.

The same problem appeared today on my computer at work... Have you figured
out what was wrong?

Assuming that you have only one document that is a problem, and NOT that
this is a general "all the time" occurrance with all documents:

Open the document and click: Tools|Options then under "Formatting Marks",
check the box marked "All".

Have a look at the codes and see if you can find something odd. If you do,
delete it.

You'll figure it out...

I had this problem and found it related just to one document and whatever I
did I couldn't get it right. So I pasted the text over into a new file and
started again!
