Justifying Paragraph Numbering in Mtext Editor

[bcarriere]

Is it possible to right justify paragraph numbering while left justifying the paragraph text? If so, how do I do it?

I want it to appear like:

  9.  This is a test.

10.  This is also a test.

I searched but could not find anything that detailed what I desire to accomplish.

You may want to explore the Table command. Right justify your first column....left justify your second column. kind of like excel. Just a thought.

I think that bluebrad60 is right. I think that you would need to use a table to do this. There are draw backs such as having to enter the numbers manually and you would need to add more rows if you need them but you can make this work. Just insert a table with 2 columns, stretch the first column so it is narrow. Format the columns to the proper justification and then change the borders to "none" for the data, title and header cell styles so that they don't show when you plot.
