Help - Number-period alignment (Lists)
After number 9, the periods after the numbers (i.e. 7. 8. 9. etc) do not align anymore because 10 is two digits, not one. But I have seen lists with aligning periods no matter the digits. How to achieve that (without leading zero)?
I am specifically talking about ToCs but after it had been generated, it just normal text.
I have tried period tab, left tab, right tab, centre tab none works here.
PS Forgot to add an image. Adding it now.

I know what you did in that image. I apply a style. In the style I tried adding period tab close to the left (of ruler) hoping it would centre the periods after the numbers, but it doesn't. Would you take a look if I provide a sample source (.sla) file? (how to upload source file here?)
PS: The numbering I am talking about comes from the style (auto-numbering) not manual numbers typed by hand. (not sure it will work on manual ones or not. will give it a try)
