I had a bulleted list with six entries:
- foo
- bar
- baz
- bim
- bam
- boom
I selected a range from somewhere in baz to somewhere in bam (ie, paragraphs
3-5). If they'd been just text, then only those paragraphs would've been
indented.
- foo
- bar
- baz
- bim
- bam
- boom
However, since it was a list (I guess) all six paragraphs moved, which was a
big surprise. I thought -- hey if I wanted all six lines, I woulda selected
all six! Just move the ones I told you to, Abi!
At that point, I had to be (forcefully) reminded to take a break and stop
muttering out loud at the screen. ;-)
