InDesign Tab/Checklist Alignment

ethelgrape

I am creating a long checklist with an underscored tab at the beginning of each line and am having trouble getting the text that flows over onto the next line to line up. The attached file shows want I want to achieve, followed by want I am getting.

if I hit enter where the line would break then set the indent in the tab settings it works but there must be a better way.

What would be the best way to go about this?

I think what you need to do is press "apple" and "backslash" at the point where you want the text to align to. That should make all the text in the paragraph align to that point.

Or I may have misunderstood you…

That worked! Thanks!
