Numbered List Formatting

[TimothyFratta]

Hi,

I'd like to add some notes to a Layout I'm creating as a Number List, just like you would see in MS Word. In other words, the text need to line up on a separate indent than the numbers, like below

Is there a way to do this? I read a post about paragraph indent:

But the spacing between the number and the text that immediately follows DOES NOT align with the indent of the rest of the text.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi everyone

Thanks Barry for your solution. I've implemented that into my notes section. 

I'm wondering if anyone has solved this issue I'm having with the headings. I want to have a single heading reading "Notes" as shown in my photo. I've tricked it using the Position options (specifically Offset X) and some text formatting tags in Excel.

Is there a way to merge columns in Pro or create a singular table heading?

In a perfect world, I'd be able to create a numbered list with multiple headings like so:

ArcMap had an option to insert elements like word docs so the above screenshot was typed up in MS Word. Is there a way to recreate this in Pro?

Thanks!

Hi Olivia,

I too have run into this issue, i.e. placing an title over my notes that spans all columns. Alas, a. I cannot figure out how to eliminate the headings (my horrible solution? To reduce the font to 0), b. I don't think cell merge exists in ArcGIS tables, so I resigned myself to adding a text box above my newly created table.

It's a very bad compromise and I wish ArcGIS could provide better tools for text formatting.

This topic was promoted as an idea a while back but I don't know what progress has been made.

We moved this to an idea. If you are interested in seeing this functionality added to a future release of ArcGIS Pro, go here, add your kudos, and specific use case in the comments.
