Now I will show you two methods to fix alignment issues with numbered lists. The Ruler will now be displayed on the screen.Place a tick in the Ruler checkbox within the Show group.
To display the ruler, follow these steps: If you do not have the Ruler visible on the screen you will need to display this so you can see the indent markers on your ruler. The Left Indent (the square underneath the Hanging Indent marker) only applies to the formatting of paragraphs and is not utilised in a number or bullet list. The Hanging Indent marker (the triangle pointing up) determines where the text for the line will begin. The First Line Indent determines the location of the bullet or number at the start of each line in the list. There are three indent markers available, however, only two of these apply to the alignment of your numbered or bullet lists. The alignment is determined by markers on the ruler called indent markers.

You will see in this example that point I. Here is an example showing a numbered list using Roman numerals: The question in particular, related to why the alignment of text on certain lines of a numbered list was different from other lines. Needless to say, this post is in response to that question and hopefully will provide some information for anyone who may experience the same issue.
