Although your description is far from clear, it sounds as if you want
numbered items. The simplest (but almost never the best) way to apply
numbering is to click on the Numbering button on the Standard toolbar. A
better approach is to apply the Numbered List style. If you want to add the
numbering manually, you can apply the List style, which has a hanging
indent; then type the number, press Tab, and type your text.
The disadvantage of the List style is that you can't automatically align the
numbering on the decimal point. If you never have more than 9 items, this is
not an issue, but if you do, you might try using the Numbered List style,
customizing the number formatting to align right. For more on formatting
numbered styles, see
