How to make the numbers in a list right-aligned?

Hi,


I've spent quite a while trying to make the numbers of a list in pages right-aligned but didn't find any solution.


Now that they're left-aligned the list looks pretty ugly as soon as you reach "10."


Can you help me with that?


Best

You will have to do this manually.


Insert 2 tabs on the ruler for the right of the numbers, and the left of the text.


Start each paragraph with a tab to push the number to the right alignment.


Type the number, then a tab then the text.


Best is to make the pargraph a hanging indent, with the paragraph indented to the line of the text nad the first line hanging back to the left margin.


Make it a Style in the Styles Drawer to save having to do it again.
