Default Hanging indents in Word 2010

Hi, I have 12 templates that were created in Word 2003, we use a text box in the header down the left hand side on the first page, for report details, it acts as a false margin and pushes the dot points on the first page further in, but they remain hanging indents, at least in Word 2003 (See attachment 1). We avoided using a section break to adjust the margin as the templates can be broken too easily and they are used by people of varying levels of skill. We also didn't want to create different styles for page one. They have all worked well until we changed to 2010. If the templates remain in compatibility mode they work fine, but as soon as someone saves the document as a 2010 file, the hanging indents disappear (See attachment 2). I've tried inserting a graphic and a table, but the wrapping all works the same way. If you delete the text box, graphic or table from the header the dot points go back to hanging which is what we want. We really don't want to change the look and feel of our reports.

Any ideas?
