Bullet points/numbering

If you try using the Format Painter, does this work for you? Select a paragraph above the list that starts in the position that you want to also start in underneath your list; then click on Format Painter (looks like a little paint brush - on the standard toolbar in 2003; on the Home ribbon in 2007).

After you have selected Format Painter, click in the paragraph underneath the list where you want to change the position of the cursor and see if the cursor goes to the correct position.

Kind regards
