Im trying to remove the indentation from lists like this, with no luck. Any ideas?

        \begin{itemize}
                \setlength{\itemsep}{1pt}
                \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
                \setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
                \setlength{\leftmargin}{-.25in}
                \item a
                \item b
                \item c
                \item d

The easiest way is to load the enumitem package and use some of its options, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

        \begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
                \item a
                \item b
                \item c
                \item d
                \item e
                \item f
        \end{itemize}

See the enumitem package documentation for more information and more options.

That helped with indenting nicely.

Now I'm noticing that if I start a list like that at the top of a section, the first elements in each column arnt lined up. Know how to fix that anychance?


Thanks

Please provide a fully compilable minimal example of what you mean. At the moment, I don't know how to duplicate this problem. It seems to work fine for me at the start of a section, at least in the article class with no other packages besides multicol and enumitem loaded.
