SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you format text with a negative left
indent and create a bulleted or numbered list from that text, the
negative left indent reverts back to zero.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Type three lines of text in a new document. Select the text.
- In Word 6.0, from the Format menu, choose Paragraph and select the
Indents and Spacing Tab Option. In Word 2.x, from the Format menu,
choose Paragraph.
In the Indentation box, change the From Left value to -0.25 inches
and Choose OK.
- From the Tools menu, choose Bullets and Numbering. Choose the
Bullets or Numbered List option, and choose the OK button. In version
6.0 from the Format Menu, choose Bullets and Numbering, then select
the Bulleted Tab Option. Choose the size and style of bullet and then
OK.
The text changes to a bulleted or numbered list and the left indent
returns to zero. Select the text, and choose Paragraph from the Format
menu. The left indent displays zero inches.
