Alignment of list numbers

[Steve Rickaby]

On seeing some FrameMaker output, an experienced proofreader has commented on the fact that for numbered lists that run into two digits, the numbers are left-aligned, rather than right-aligned - the implication is that, for example, '9' should be aligned above the '0' of '10'.

I must admit that this thought had not crossed my mind before, but of course it's true. I've just checked a book set in Quark, and list numbers do indeed right-align. As FrameMaker can only apply justification at the paragraph tag level, and not at the character tag level, I cannot see a simple method of achieving the desired alignment.

Does anyone have any ideas?
