Microsoft Word where it doesn't automatically make the numbers indent - me

Posted: Jan 05, 2011

I'm trying to help someone with her Word problems. How do you get it to where it doesn't automatically make the numbers indent when you're numbering something? I've tried the Bullets and Numbering and the Styles and Formatting, and she says neither changes it. TIA

Go to Format, AutoFormat, Options, and then AutoFormat As You Type. You should be able to remove the check mark for Automatic Numbered Lists.

This is in Word 2003.

That doesn't remove indent, just auto numbering. - NM

Need to know version of Word, but you can hit - SM

Alt + Shift + left arrow to demote the list to the left margin while cursor is still on the first item line. Otherwise, you need to use the built-in list number style that automatically keeps lists at left margin and assign a shortcut to that style or create a macro to move the lest left.

The indent for auto numbering has been permanent since Word 2000. You're forced to jump through hoops to keep your list at the left.

You go to the Tools Menu, then Auto Correct Options - NKC

and then you click on the AutoFormat As You Type Tab. You'll see a list with boxes checked and unchecked. You need to uncheck automatic bulleted lists and automatic numbered list. Click Ok and that should take care of it.

another way - kl

I use Word 2007. This is what I do...

When you use the numbering feature it does indent; however if you will go back and put your cursor on the first number in the series and then go over to the "page layout" tab you will see a section that says "indent". You will probably notice that it is set to 0.5" on the left. If so, you can change that to 0" and it will return back flush to the left margin.

Hope this helps!

Working in an office on Microsoft Word 2007. Is the AutoCorrect/AutoText feature really gone? I saw the Quick Parts thing, but that is very slow in our business.

The foot pedal works fine with Windows Media Player but if I touch the foot pedal while I am in the Word document, I see all kinds of strange commands pop up in Word like "print" or "font". This slows down my transcription considerably. I ...
