Dennis, The figures corresponding to the screnshot I uploaded are: \margl1080\margr1440\margt1080\margb1440 The first entry: \par \pard\fi0\li1056\plain\f3\fs20 \b Mr William Arthur The line before the second entry: \par \pard \li1056 \'95 She had a residence in 1917 and the second entry \par \pard\fi0\li1488\plain\f3\fs20 \b Miss Ivy Ferguson
What I find puzzling is that the indent/margin for the first entry is very slightly less than the set margin. Otherwise these figures seem to be what I would expect.
