Numbering in Office 2007

[bridgettgriffin3]

Can someone please tell me why, when I start a numbered list in Microsoft
Office 2007. When I reach the number 100, 101, 102 etc. and then type the
titles after each number, Microsoft Office automatically leaves a half inch
gap between the number and words. I have tried everything to backspace over
the gaps, no luck!!!


I am running Windows XP Professional

It is because you are not aligning the numbers. Try this:

99. Create the numbered list.
100. Select the list items you want to realign.
101. You'll find the Numbering tool in the Paragraph group on the
Home tab. Click the Numbering tool's drop-down list and choose
Define New Number Format.
102. In the resulting dialog box, choose Right from the Alignment
drop-down list.
103. Click OK.

You could also reduce the "hanging" (this is under indents and
spacing) of paragraph formatting by few centimeters. Let me know
if you want any help on this.
