Debra,

I think you have to fiddle some settings in the Format Numbering (outline numbering) part of the heading's style, in addition to setting an appropriate (right) tab stop in Format Tabs. I don't recall just *which* settings need fiddling (and don't have time to run some tests right now - sorry), but if you haven't looked into that part of the style definition, you might find your answer there.

If you have looked into that part of the style definition, then I'm out of ideas.

Regards, Jean

I do have a right-aligned tab and a tab after the numbering all set up in
the heading style. When I insert the heading style, I get the number and
then the curser is at the right-aligned tab (which is at the end of the
line, right side of the printed page margin). However, when I begin to enter
the text, at the right-aligned tab stop, the text doesn't right align, and
thus wraps to the next line.

<snip>

I have a numbered heading system (1., 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.) and the powers that
be want the text for the heading to be right aligned. ...

Example (where the || is the printed page margins and all the text is on the
same single line):
||1. -> This is the Heading||

Although I can set the style to have a right-aligned margin, when I type the
text wraps to the next line as if I had a left-aligned margin.
Example:
||1. -> This||
|| is the Heading. ||

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make this happen?
