In WordPerfect, even with such a structured list (what WordPerfect
calls an "Outline"), one can "Indent" after any list member to a
common point on the line, as shown above. I have been wasting a lot
of time trying to see how to do this kind of annotation with Writer;
can anyone offer a suggestion?
I think the cleanest way to accomplish this is with a two-column
table. Select column 1 and apply your list style, then enter the list
as usual. Column 2 can then hold the annotations, which will stay
aligned and flow nicely...
Sorry -- that might be a bit misleading. You enter the list as usual,
except for moving down to the next cell instead of using Enter before
each new list item.
Barbara, sorry to be dense, but I'm still not seeing this. With a
2-column table, each list member defines a new row, correct? So then
how is the hierarchical list maintained? [I rejected the table approach
when I tried this earlier, thinking there must be a way to maintain the
structured list.] Is there no way to maintain the structured list while
adding annotation?
