Are you having bullet and number list alignment or wrapping issues?
August 15, 2013 12:00 AM
If you are having issues in Lectora with text in your bullets or numbered lists not aligning or wrapping correctly:
1. Highlight the bulleted text, from start to finish.
2. Click "decrease indent" in your paragraph section, in the home tab, until your bulleted text is aligned against the left border of your textbox, and your bullet pops out away from your text.
3. Click "increase indent" next to the decrease indent button once to shift all your bullets and text to the right.
4. Preview, or publish, and look at your bullets alignment, and text wrapping.
Do this for all your bulleted, and numbered list, sections.

Nice tip, but have you tried using a two column table? Put your bullets/numbers in the first column and your text in the second. Even when you change the width of the column the bullet/number alignment is still correct.
From what I've been able to find, alignment issues are due in part to how Lectora is parsing the RTF markup from other programs. When I last contacted Trivantis about this, the solution they gave was to either always paste as unformatted text, or to only paste text in from Notepad and/or Wordpad.
Granular control over text-formatting in Lectora is tricky at best.
RTF should become a thing of the past and be replaced by proper HTML formatting.
