word wrap

How do you wrap when using numbers and want the test to automatically line up
under the text.
Example. 1. sssssssssssssss
sssssssssssssssssss

Thanks!

Try this: Highlight the lines, choose Format Bullets & Numbering, then
choose the 'Numbered' tab, then choose the 'Customize' button. Play around
with the Text Position options.
--- Good luck.

This is called a "hanging indent." You can apply it from the Format
Paragraph dialog or using the ruler
(http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm). If you apply
automatic numbering or bullets, the hanging indent is included
automatically, but it is generally a bad idea to do this using the Numbering
or Bullets buttons on the Formatting toolbar; it's better to apply numbered
or bulleted styles such as one of the List Number or List Bullet series,
which you can customize as required. For more on this, see

This is called a hanging indent. Ctrl-T turns this on. Ctrl-Shift-T turns it
off. You can get more control using the ruler or the paragraph formatting
dialog box Format Paragraph.
