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?

Thanks, this leads to at least a good-looking result. Nevertheless I have been hoping for an automatic solution, in my view it's awkward that there's no simple choice for that in pages, because sometimes you have more than 9 points on your list...
You can't change how the numbers in the list are aligned. You change the text tough if you add 1 or 2 spaces in front of the first letter on each line for the first 9 numbers. Here I added 2 spaces.
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.

Thanks, that's an idea. You can also go to the information window (alt cmd i) and adjust the distance either between the left side and the text or between the number and the text.
But still it looks a bit weird, doesn't it?
The number of points doesn't matter so long as you make room for the tab and numeral.
