Default Tab Stops and formatting keeps changing

I've got 2 problems.



A. When I take some text and add numbering the indent, tab stops, etc all go haywire. So if I have

4.4 Some text in Heading 2: This text is indented .5 in from the margin with the title 2 spaces from the numbers and the wrapped paragraph text aligned to the left number.

*Press Enter*

The new text reads

4.5 Some new Text in Heading 2: This text is now indented differently with the
wrapped paragraph text aligned after the numbers.


What gives? I don't really care what it does, I just want it to stop doing something different.

B. I'll select a bunch of text w/ different headings. The numbering is in different fonts and colors for the same level of heading.

So I add some numbering to text and I get this.

4.4 Some text
4.5 Some other text

Default How do I change the indent for numbering?

So I have a report with headings 1,2,3,4,5,6
I can get the line list style ok but I can't get things to align right. So with 6 headings things get pretty far to the left if I keep indenting. I want levels 1,2,3 to be indented just a space or two and 4,5,6 to be indented may 7 spaces and then 1 or two spaces per level. How do I do this?

There are other's on this forum much keener than I on Word and it's formatting, but IMO, this question is related to the answer in your other thread.

Indeed.

mojojojo: Please don't start multiple threads on closely related issues. I've merged the threads.
