column width problem with Labeling solved

2005-09-01 Thread Kevin Pfeiffer
I posted this a couple weeks ago (answer follows).

 I have a list that consists of keywords and explanations. I used a 
 paragraph environment called Labeling to do this. My problem is that 
 one keyword is so long that it runs beyond where the body text of all 
 other keywords start.

 I looked at the User guide and found no mention of Labeling. 
 But I did find List, which seems to be the same thing. Except that 
 for List there are instructions on how to change label width, etc. 
 Yet, when I look at the paragraph settings for Labeling, I see no 
 possibility to do this.

In the paragraph layout dialogue (mentioned in help text), this setting 
can be found under the tab Lines  Pagebreaks (not mentioned in help 
text).

Confusingly, the default entry is something like 00.00.00 which 
led me to (wrongly) assume that perhaps a numerical entry (of units 
unknown) is to be entered. Since the help instructions (I forgot in 
which help doc) suggest using a count of Ms, perhaps the default entry 
should be changed to something like MMM?  (this was using 
1.3.5).

In the paragraph layout dialogue (mentioned in help text), this setting 
can be found under the tab "Lines & Pagebreaks" (not mentioned in help 
text).

Confusingly, the default entry is something like "00.00.00" which 
led me to (wrongly) assume that perhaps a numerical entry (of units 
unknown) is to be entered. Since the help instructions (I forgot in 
which help doc) suggest using a count of Ms, perhaps the default entry
