Question List Text in columns when centralised

What I am trying to achieve is to have a book / chapter list central on the page and the text move to a set position when it starts on the next line and not position centrally.

E.G. 1 (please ignore dots I couldn't position text properly without them)

Central looks like this

...............1 As Darkness Falls
2 What Happened Next - A peculiar thing?

Setting the margins, I can make it look like this

...............1 As Darkness Falls
...............2 What Happened Next - A peculiar thing?

The problem is, that when I zoom on my reader and the text dosent fit on one line it then looks like this

...............1 As Darkness Falls
...............2 What Happened Next - A peculiar
.......................................thing?

Now I have overcome this problem by using two span left codes, one for the number and one for the text and can position the next line where I like

E.G. 2

...............1 As Darkness Falls
...............2 What Happened Next - A peculiar
..................thing?

But in doing this creates another problem!!! I set up the list for medium zoom. When I zoom larger, no problem the margins seem to be fixed and it reformats as above.

Now if I reduce the zoom to small or x-small the whole text moves to the left.

I'm not sure what happens here because it appears the span left margins I set reduce aswell as the text, pulling it off center but when zooming larger I don't notice the margin getting bigger narrowing the text???

I could set it up on x-small zoom but this will mean when zooming larger the text will stay in a very narrow colomn in the center and I want it spread out to my desired width.

So does anybody know if there is a way around this??? Is it possible to make vertical colomns and position them???
