Text wrapping in autonumbered headings [RESOLVED]

Post by Fiona »

Some of my headings are quite long, and when they wrap the new line of text starts beneath the number rather than being left-justified with the first line of text (I don't think I'm describing it well, but I'd like the alignment to be for the text and not include the number, much as a list does in Microsoft Word).

Does anyone know the setting I should use to get this behaviour?

Thanks. Fiona

We use autonumber heds for chapters in our user manuals. You need to set an offset and a position for the autonumber in the style.
To achieve this:

we set this in the AutoNumber style area:

Thanks Sarrantsvt. I checked my CSS and already had offset and position defined, but had mc-auto-number-position set to float-left...changing it to outside-head sorted the issue.
