I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem to work in my case.
The input (Word) document has an indent of 0,4 cm for the List style.
The indent in the resulting EPUB is about 36 points (1,27 cm).
I even tried editing the style (in Word) and removing the "Style based on: Normal" setting (putting it as "No style" instead); just in case the "Normal" style had anything to do with it. Same result.
As I said in my reply above, all the styles in my Words docs are manually crafted by me, exactly the way I want them (it's part of my job, BTW
).
Looks like somewhere my indent setting is ignored and a "default" setting of 36 points is used instead - for Lists at least.
This has happened since I began doing these conversions (in 2015), and still happens both in Calibre 3.48 (Mac) and Calibre 7.10 (Windows).
Checking the stylesheet.css in Calibre (Edit book), I see several ".block_# {" items with "margin-left" values going from "29.4 pt" to 34.1 or 40.7 (depending on the file I'm working on). If I manually set them all to "6 pt", the lists in my EPUB become the way I want.
There are no such big margins in my Word docs (at least in the styles I'm using), so one wonders where those margins come from. That's why I thought Calibre uses some "default" margin or indent. Maybe they're coming from my Word docs, but from which setting? (surely not from my styles).
