TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1. Be sure you have a tab character where your hanging indent is. In
other words, if your left margin is 1" with a hanging indent of .25",
then put a tab at 1.25". I've found that things don't work right
without it.
2. If all else fails, add the numbers (and following tab) manually to
your steps. No "Automatic fixing up of RTF formatting" is necessary if
you do this. But it is time consuming if you have lots of lists!
Let me know if you have any questions.
