I design software documentation sometimes as part of my job and I use Microsoft Word to do it. My process often involves creating numbered lists of steps within tables.
However, since visual real estate on the page is scarce in software documentation, I try to keep the numbering from auto-indenting.
This means that, whenever I start a new set of steps, or whenever I try to conjoin two lists of steps by right-clicking and choosing "Continue Numbering," the list begins indenting, and I have to use the ruler to line it up with the rest of my steps again and again, which slows me down.
My question is, how can I set Word to either:
A. Remember that I don't want my first list level to be indented?
-AND/OR (at least)-
B. "Continue Numbering" using the same indentation rules as the list I'm joining to?
Please note that I enjoy the added convenience that the automatic numbering feature of Word brings to my process and I do NOT want to turn it off.
