Unintended Spacing in Numbering
Hi Guys,
Anyone know why when coming into number 10 onwards, the spacing is bigger than from number 1 to 9 (See attachment)
Hello aliffpadzi,
it is because of the tab stop. Double digit numbers take up more space and exceed the border for the tab stop, therefore it goes to the next mark.
There are more ways to fix this, depending on whether you use styles or not. If not, select all numbered lines and move the tab stop and the hanging indent to a new position. If you use styles, change the position of the tab stop and of the hanging indent directly in the style.
Mind you, you can delete the tab stop altogether, as the hanging indent acts as a tab stop itself.

- Thank you will have a look that things!
- Hello All,
Answer of @Lenka Kerumova is correct, though when I was facing same situation, this tab moved all the Numbering away, which were not requiring any modifications.
One possible solution is as mentioned below:
1. Right click where your numbering is gone too away, now select Paragraph.
2. In indentation, in the tab "Left", make changes from "-0.1" to "-0.2" and so on till your text and numbering matches the style as it was before this.
Do let me know if this works for you'll. Happy to help!
