Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I was trying to clean up a bulletted list in an existing document. It had used manual bullets,
 line breaks and spaces for item continuations when they didn't fit on the line with the bullet.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I removed all the bulletsm line breaks and extra spaces then created a new style that used the
bulletted list feature. This correctly inserted the bullets and allowed me to adjust the spacing
between the bullet and the text. However, the Auto-Indent feature simply did not work. No matter
what settings I tried, the spillover did not indent.

Next I tried to use the paragraph indent feature. No matter what settings I used, I could not
get it to only indent the spillover lines.

I eventually turned off the spaxcing between the bullet & text, manually inserted spaces and
hard line-breaks (that don't trigger a new paragraph) to achieve the look I wanted.
