Style of unnumbered paragraph in a list

users
#1

In Writer I'm inserting an unnumbered paragraph in a list. My default
paragraph style (and default numbering style) indents the first line .5".
However, the unnumbered paragraph doesn't indent. It's flush with the
margin. I have to indent using Tab. Even if I set the paragraph style for
the specific paragraph to indent .5" on the first line that's ignored. How
can I automatically set the paragraph style to indent on an unnumbered
paragraph in a list?

Thanks,

Set the cursor at the end of the paragraph which belongs to the list. You will see the list toolbar. That toolbar contains a command to insert an unnumbered paragraph with the same indent as the list paragraphs.

Alternatively, enter the paragraph as numbered paragraph. Set cursor at the beginning of the text of that list item and press backspace key to remove the number.

Kind regards

Regina:

That works if I use the original numbering format. The problem seems to be
when I change the numbering format. I change the Position format on Level 1
to "Numbering followed by Space," "Aligned at 0.50," and "Indent at 0.00."
I'm thinking this must force the unnumbered paragraph to align at the margin
and not indent.

Any ideas?
