Is it possible to make the bullets (or numbers) in a list appear on the right hand margin instead of the left?
 
I'm no Word expert, but you could try using HTML to do that section of your document (print it out as HTML at the end)

something like

<align = &quot;right&quot;>
<ul>
<li>A point</li>
</ul>

Without looking it up I can't tell if that's quite right!
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but even if it works I have to provide a simple solution for a new word user who is converting from a typewriter (!) and has always numbered her minutes down the RHS and doesn't see why she should change just because of the computer.
 
Create a table with three columns, Action, Comment and No and remove the borders.

Click in the right cell and turn on numbering.

Train the user to use the Tab key to move through the table which will add rows as required. You may want to play with the paragraph format to space the text out

I have a sample if you want it just e mail me Neil Berryman
