Numbered list and styles

[Elbert]

Hi,

I created a style for formatting numbered questions at the end of a chapter
in a textbook. The style is a numbered list item, adjusted so that the
number is in the left margin of the page, and the text of the question
begins at the left margin.

It works great until I need to restart the numbering. I do format>bullets
and numbering>restart numbering. This restarts the numbering, but it also
changes the formatting of all numbered items so that the number is indented
to the right of the left margin and the text is indented even more.

Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks,

Elbert

Did you use Bullets and Numbering to alter the indentation of your style? If
not, it won't work. See:

You don't have to replace your toolbar buttons, but you do have to follow
step 1 to create the style.

Holy cow! What you recommended actually works. I spent the better part of
the morning trying to figure out how to do this and got nowhere.

Many thanks,

Elbert
