I am > surprised it makes no difference. Did you try to play with > LabelIndent? No, I didn't but this was the right tip. I added a line LabelIndent MMM to my file quoted-list.inc and voila it works like a charm. (But LeftMargin still has no effect at all.) -> Thanks for the fast reply (Which also saves me from looking around line 651 of text.C.) ;-) (Before trying I looked through the documentation (Customization.lyx) for LabelIndent but did not find any occurence of this word! Thus the whole problem seems to be a documentation failure.) BTW I am still using 1.1.5fix2 Doing the tests for my new list I discovered another problem with the "standard" LyX list: Manual setting of the LabelString form within LyX works only on the first item of a list.
