    No worries. It’s a useful tip that I will use again.

    Hi Masood,

    Were any of your colleagues able to come up with something better than v2 of your process?

    I’ve used it successfully in the last document I needed to lay out. What’s funny, is I was finally able to get ahold of the original document and was able to see how they originally did it; they used an additional text frame to lay the number in the correct place afterwards. Bloody ugh!

    One thing I was concerned about (very briefly) was having the pipe character show up in the generated TOC, but then I remembered your use of grep formatting, so I was able to make the pipe “invisible” in the TOC styles.

    Apparently this old dog can still learn some new tricks.

    Thanks again.

    (Masood send me an indesign file that achieves the effect I was looking for using techniques I didn’t know were possible – and I’ve been using InDesign since PageMaker 1.0)

    Thank you Masood!

    That’s some interesting magic you’ve done there. I’ll work out what you did (grep styles? new to me) and then see if I can improve it un anyway. If I do, I’ll be sure to let you know.

    Very impressive.

    Thanks again!

    – Paul

    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
