Hello. I'm using OpenOffice.org to do a research paper. My school has strict 
formatting requirements, and so far I've been able to comply with all of them 
on OOo, and regularly recommend it to friends with templates showing how I did 
it. Unfortunately, I've hit the showstopper:
Endnotes. Endnotes work great, mind you, they just won't let me format them. 
The periods in the numbers for the endnotes must line up, as well as the text 
after them, throughout the entire document. So, I did what I did last time the 
school required this: I set a decimal tab of .75" and a left tab of .94". 
However, this didn't work for endnotes. I couldn't move in front of the number 
and press tab to align the dot with the tab, nor could I remove the number and 
type it in myself. I did a first-line indent, but that lines up the first 
number with every first number; double-digits have their periods out of 
alignment. This is a big problem, and, while I can do the rest of this paper in 
OOo, I will unfortunately have to borrow a friend's computer with Windows and 
MS Office on it to finish the paper. I really don't want to have to do it, but 
as long as "." characters in fields don't line up with decimal tabs like they 
do in text, I can't format endnotes properly.
