Hi gang,
	I am trying to do something spiffy in Word and can't quite
figure out how to do it. Maybe someone out there has done it already and
can help.

	I am trying to create headings in a document where the heading
number hangs out in the left margin and the heading text lines up with
the left margin of the body text. This is easy using a hanging indent.
The trick is: I want the number to be right justified and the text left
justified so that it looke somthing like this...

            1 INTRODUCTION
	      This is some body text...

          1.1 Scope
	      This is more body text...

        1.1.1 Foo
	      Yet more body text...

You get the idea. I tried putting a right justified tab at the right
place but then I have to insert a tab in front of the number which will
screw up the table of contents when Word generates it.

Any ideas? Please Email and I'll post solutions that work.

Thanks in advance,
Howard
