I'm trying to create an outline in Word for Windows, but I can't seem to change
a certain "feature". When I create a body text and number it, WfW inserts
the number, but I can't format the text the way I want it.
I. Customer Records
A. Add A Customer
1. Allows you to add a primary account. The screen changes to a
customer-add form. Data can be entered as with any full-screen form.
Press F10 to save the accont and return to the customer records screen.
Press F9 to save this account and enter another primary account. Press
F7 to save this customer and add a tail account.
What I really wanted was:

The screen changes to a All the standard numbering styles in WFW put a tab after the number. You want a couple of spaces instead of a tab. Go to View Outline, Remove the existing numbers, and then manually number the first few headings the way you want them, with spaces instead of tabs. Then Renumber LEARN. -- Harvey S.

The rest of the lines will have the margin set up as usual. The first tab stop for those paragraphs should then be set to be the same as the margin (use the ruler line to do all this). This method lets you use the tab after the number. Using the space method doesn't work with proportional fonts. You may want to set up these formats in Galley View or Page View mode. Then use Outline mode to do the text entry.
