I would like to format my bullet points so that if they extend to more than
one line the second line of text is aligned with the first line of text.

Currently the default seams to be that the second line of text is aligned
with the bullet itself... so that it sits under the bullet. This looks
stupid.

How do I make subsequent lines of text line up with the first?

With the insertion point in the textbox look at the ruler (view > ruler if
its not there)
Can you see two grey pointers? Move the lower one till it lines up with the
first text indent and all should be well. You may want to hold down ctrl key
to get finer control of the caret.

Did that answer the question / help?

Yay. Thanks.

I had just discovered the ruler and the alignment tool and was returning to
post an answer to myself! Good to know this is the *right* way to do this.

cheers.

art.
