Numbered List: Changing Indentation Dynamically

[faceman28208]

When setting up document for consistent indention and alignment,
Roman numbered cause a problem

I. Line ..........
Continued to Next line

until you get to

VIII. Line ......
Continued to Next line

Then your alignment is all off.

On the other hand, the hanging indent wide enough to cover VI - VIII,
you get overly wide indentation.

Is there any way to get Word to automatically bump up to the next "tab
stop" on the hanging indent? To get something like:


I. Line ..........
Continued to Next line
VIII. Line ......
Continued to Next line

Assuming that this is auto numbering, you could try aligning the Roman
numerals to the right.

Even if it's not autonumbering, you can still use a right-aligned tab stop
to align the numbers and following period, then another tab to the text.
