strido Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've got a very small text box, about 2" wide that I need to fit some bullet points into. Trouble is, when the text goes to the 2nd line, I need that 2nd line to line up with the text, not the bullet. I'm currently getting this: • The Patriots won the Super Bowl I need this: • The Patriots won the Super ...Bowl any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Set the "Left Indent" in the Paragraph Settings dialog, but leave the "First Line Indent" at zero. You might also want to set a tab stop to match the indent, then put a tab after the bullet, to make sure things line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strido Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm missing something here. I've followed your instructions but nothing is changing. Do I need to select all the text, or select all except that bullet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm missing something here. I've followed your instructions but nothing is changing. Do I need to select all the text, or select all except that bullet? It's a paragraph setting, so it will apply to the paragraph(s) containing the currently selected text in the editor.

Dan Korn Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Here's an example. The paragraph has a 12 pt left indent, and also a 12 pt (0.167 in) tab stop, and there's a tab after the bullet.bullet-wrap.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strido Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 The 12PTS is where I was getting crossed up. Thanks for your help as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
