I understand how negative indent works with CSS, but my question is, is there a way to have a kind of ‘tab’ in between the beginning of the negative indent and the rest of the text?

What I am trying to accomplish is the same look as in http://copyrighter.ru/canada/test.htm – please have a look at paragraphs starting from [6].

Notice that [6] is moved to the left of the line, while the rest of it looks like a neat square paragraph.

I am currently doing it with two divs.

It looks exactly the way I want it to look, but when I copy the text into MS Word, the copied text is all messed up.

I am trying to figure out if there is an easier way to accomplish the same task.

    Try to put numbers into SPANs having “absolute” positions. Something like this:

    However, I guess it won’t look exactly the same after pasting the text into Word.
