•
Choose Bullets And Numbering from the Control panel menu (in Paragraph mode) or the Paragraph panel menu.

4 To change the position of the bullet or number, specify any of the following:
Alignment
Left-aligns, centers, or right-aligns the bullets or numbers within the horizontal space allotted for numbers.
(If this space is narrow, the difference between the three options is negligible.)
Left Indent
Specifies how far the lines after the first line are indented.
First Line Indent
Controls where the bullet or number is positioned.
Tab Position
Activates the tab position to create space between the bullet or number and the start of the list item.
Position settings
A. Hanging indent B. Left-aligned list
Note: The Left Indent, First Line Indent, and Tab Position settings in the Bullets And Numbering dialog box are
paragraph attributes. For that reason, changing these settings in the Paragraph panel also changes bulleted and
numbered list formats.
To create the hanging indent effect, specify a positive Left Indent value (such as 2p0), and then specify an equal
negative value (such as -2p0) for First Line Indent.
