Andy, Here's how I do it: Set up the Autonumber format for both tags with a tab, then the numbering "building block" and decimal point, then another tab, as in the following example:
N:\t<n+>.\t Make the first tab a right tab and the second a left tab. Don't indent the first line, but set the second line indent to match the second (left) tab. A little experimentation will show you the right sizes for the tabs and the indent.

To: Framers@frameusers.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello, I'm writing a step procedure that involves over 10 steps. I have set up one paragraph tag named StepFirst, and another paragraph tag (for all subsequent steps) named StepNext. The problem is, the decimal points won't line up between the single-digit steps and the double-digit steps. One solution I used was to create a paragraph tag named StepNexta (with a first indent of .5 and a left indent of .72) for steps numbered 1-9, and another tag named StepNextb (with a first indent of .4 and a left indent of .7) for all numbered steps above 9. This allows all decimal points to line up. Is this an acceptable way of getting the decimal points to line up, or is there a better way to do this?
