Paragraph Numbering...

[116]

Numbering works fine until I get to double digits. Once I get to this point
the spacing after the number increases by what looks to be three times than
the single digits. I have looked in Numbering, etc. I guess I am missing
something. Any assistance would be greatly appreciaited.

Thanks
David

What you are missing is that your paragraph is using default tab settings
and with two digits the tab following the number adopts the second tab
position. Adjust the tabs so that there is more space for the number.

Show non-printing characters (Shift+8 on a standard U.S. keyboard). It may
be the tab space between your numbers and text is not large enough to
accommodate multiple digit numbers. Options include increasing the space or
right aligning the numbers:
I'll try to give an example but it may not appear correctly on your end.

1. One
1000 One thousand

1. One
1000. One thousand.
