SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Word for Windows, if you indent a bulleted list by choosing the Indent button on the toolbar, you cannot then use the Unindent button to return the bullet to the left margin. If you choose the Unindent button, the bullet repositions on the left or right side of the left margin; it does not reposition AT the left margin. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of
Microsoft Word for Windows listed above. This problem was corrected
in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/default.htm MORE INFORMATIONThis problem occurs because the Bulleted List command applies hanging indent formatting to the paragraph, which includes a First Line setting of -0.25 inches under Indentation. The Indent and Unindent buttons do not change the First Line setting; therefore, the first line of the paragraph remains formatted for -0.25 inches when the rest of the paragraph is formatted for no left indent. WORKAROUND
If the value of the Hanging Indent By setting is the same as the
Default Tab Stops value, you can reposition the bullet at the left
margin by choosing the Unindent button on the toolbar. Change one of
these settings to match the other.
