Subject:Word ignores my Heading style attributes From:Mary McWilliams Johnson <mary -at- superconnect -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sat, 16 Oct 1999 20:34:27 -0500
I'm going out of my mind. I'm using numbered headings, using Outline
Numbering.
I've given all headings a hanging indent of .5.
It doesn't matter what I do, Word sets its own indents (or rather tab
settings), ignoring my instructions completely.
Heading 1 - .5
Heading 2 - .75
Heading 3 - 1
Heading 4 - 1.25
I set all style settings through the Paragraph menu and the Tabs menu
that's built into the Paragraph menu. I've tried deleting all tabs, and
I've tried setting a single tab at .5. Word just ignores any settings I make.
Can anyone tell me how I can make all my headings have a hanging indent of
5?
Cordially, Mary McWilliams Johnson
