Default How to "fix" spacing of 1st char in style using bullets

(NEVERMIND, I figured it out. Had to do with Adjust Line Indents. I'd delete this thread, but I can't figure out how)

Hello,

I'm having trouble recreating a style I need for another document.

I have a style that I have working properly in one document, but I cannot copy it over to another document. I know there are instructions on how to copy a style from one document to another, but I have tried and tried and they simply don't work for this particular style (which was created back in the day with word 2000/2003 admittedly). However, I am working with the documents in Word 2013 currently.

So I'm trying to recreate it from scratch.

Here's how I have the style in the document where the style behaves normally - this is the information displayed for it:

I added some repetition of the description of the font style properties at the bottom, since the whole window can't be displayed at once.

My problem is when I try to create the style from scratch in another document, The first character is too close to the bullet:

That screenshot shows that the first character typed using the style, is too close to the bullet.

How can I fix this? I want the style to look like the first screenshot, where both the first and second/third lines of a bullet are lined up with each other, a bit further away than the default distance of the first character in the second screenshot.
