MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / February 2005Heading character spacing
Hello, In Word 2003, the "Heading 1" style (modified to include chapter numbers) behaves very strangely. When set to centre, it centres the number (i. e. with words CHAPTER 1, the digit 1 will be cantered). Additionally, there is an "empty" tab-like space after the number that cannot be deleted (so words like "CHAPTER 1 - TITLE" look "CHAPTER 1 - TITLE"). The same happens if the numbering is set to include the word CHAPTER and with any other alignment. Adjusting the numbering list does not help - there are always the alignment and tab-like spacing problems. Does anyone know any way around? Thanks Tom I think you may be choosing the right settings in the wrong place. 1. To center the paragraph itself, choose Center in the Format | Paragraph dialog. 2. In the Numbering dialog, choose Left (not Center) for the number position. 3. If you haven't already done so, click More to expand the dialog. Then change "Follow number with" from "Tab character" to "Space."  SignatureSuzanne S.

How could I not notice that 'follow by' was set to tab. Interestingly, I could not change the spacing by playing with the tab settings.
