Reply To: Interesting numbered list style – can you recreate?

Thank you for the offer Masood, I’ve emailed your gmail account.

Graham,

re: the link about bullets: I’d read that already and it doesn’t provide any advice for achieving the effect I wanted.

As to your second tip, that doesn’t work. What I get is

1 |
1 | This is the first line
and this is the second line

assume the first and second lines are lined up verticallly on the left. The baseline of the numbering only lines up with the baseline of the first line which is not the effect I am looking for.

The closest I’ve found is to use tables to achieve the effect: https://creativepro.com/tables-rescue-centering-bullet-character-paragraph.php
