Sets the indent, spacing, and alignment options for the numbered or bulleted list.

To access this command...

Choose View - Styles (F11) - choose List Styles - context menu of an entry - choose New/Modify - Position tab.

Choose Format - Bullets and Numbering - Position tab.

Choose Styles - Manage Styles - choose List Styles - context menu of an entry - choose New/Modify - Position tab.

Choose Tools - Chapter Numbering - Position tab.

## Level

Select the level(s) that you want to modify. To apply the options to all the levels, select "1-10". In Chapter Numbering, only one level can be selected, or use "1-10" to apply the options, except Paragraph style, to all the levels.

## Position and Spacing

This page shows the position controls used in all versions of LibreOffice Writer. Some documents (produced by other applications) use another method for positioning and spacing. Opening such documents will show the position controls documented in Position for List styles (legacy).

### Aligned at

Enter the distance from the left page margin at which the numbering symbol will be aligned.

### Numbering alignment

Set the alignment of the numbering symbols. Select "Left" to align the numbering symbol to start directly at the "Aligned at" position. Select "Right" to align the symbol to end directly before the "Aligned at" position. Select "Centered" to centre the symbol around the "Aligned at" position.

The Numbering alignment option does not set the alignment of the paragraph.

### Numbering followed by

Select the element that will follow the numbering: a tab stop, a space, a line break, or nothing.

### Tab stop at

If you select a tab stop to follow the numbering, you can enter a non-negative value as the tab stop position.

### Indent at

Enter the distance from the left page margin to the start of all lines in the numbered paragraph that follow the first line.

### Default

Resets the indent and the spacing values to the default values.

### Load/Save

Saves or loads a chapter numbering format. A saved chapter numbering format is available to all text documents.

The Load/Save button is only available for chapter numbering. For numbered or bulleted list styles, modify the numbering styles of the paragraphs.

### Preview

Displays a preview of the current selection.

### Reset

Resets changes made to the current tab to those applicable when this dialog was opened.

### Apply

Applies the modified or selected values without closing the dialogue.

This control appears only when modifying a List style.
