MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / July 2004Numbering: Tab space after
Hello, In Word 2003, in the Bullets & Numbering Customize screen, there is a field called "Tab space after" which allows you to set the amount of space between the paragraph number and the start of the text. However, at my office we are still in Word 2000. The "Tab space after" field does not exist in 2000. How do I control the tab space after a paragraph number in Word 2000? It automatically puts in a tab set of .75 after the paragraph number, which we don't want We want 1.0 instead. I try to delete the .75 by going through Styles, Tabs, and deleting this tab set. But I can't seem to control it consistently. Thanks, Rosemary By default Word sets a tab stop where the hanging indent is. If that's not where you want the tab, that can be a problem.

Now, what about situations in which you don't want to use a hanging indent at all - that is, you want the first line (the one with the paragraph number) to be indented, and you want the following lines to go back out to the left margin? How would you set that up in 2000? Thanks, Rosemary >-----Original Message----- >By default Word sets a tab stop where the hanging indent is. If that's not [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >. Since I jumped from Word 97 to Word 2002 and didn't do much with autonumbering before Word 2002, I'm afraid I'm not the best person to answer this. But I would have thought that in this instance you could set a tab stop in the Format | Tabs dialog that would serve the purpose. ISTR that that is what I used to do in earlier versions.

I'll give this a try: I'll set the tab stop I want BEFORE customizing the numbering scheme and see if that works. What I have been doing up until this point is customizing the numbering first, which makes Word put in its default set of .75 after the paragraph number. I will instead set up the tabs I want in the style first, then I will do the paragraph numbering. Thanks very much for your help!

Generally speaking, tabs and indents set in the Numbering dialog override those set in the Paragraph and Tabs dialogs, but I'm not sure how Word handles a situation where there *is* no specific setting for a tab stop.

Hi Suzanne and Rosemary If you record a macro from the list format dialogs that have no tab setting it appears Word creates a tab stop to suit itself - usually the indent, unless it 'thinks' there isn't enough room, in which case you get a .63cm Jason tab. Resetting the tab using the paragraph dialog is still doomed because of this hidden setting in the list format - but you can edit the recorded macro and change the tab setting there, then rerun. (I don't think this isn't the best way of using VBA to set list formats, but it will probably work OK here).
