Underlining tab in numbered list

Hi,

I can't seem to find a way to underline the tab between the number and the title in my automated list.

It used to be in the 'Options', 'Advanced options' menu in Word 2007, but Word 2013 doesn't have it.

My lists all look like this:

1.  First Title

2.  Second Title 

But they should look like this:

1.  First Title

2.  Second Title

Anyone know how to do it?

Answer

In Word 2013, to get access to the layout (compatibility) options, you can save to *.doc format.

Alternatively, set the compatibility to Word 2010, using the following macro:

ActiveDocument.SetCompatibility wdWord2010


You can run the code from the Immediate window in the Visual Basic Editor (press Alt+F11 and then Ctrl+G). Type it in and press Enter.

The result is that you get access to the layout options without saving to *.doc format.
