I've had this problem so many times. I have a multilevel list set up, but every once in a while Word decides not to recognize the rules I've defined for it and yank my margin setting too far away if I dare to "restart."

I tried combing through my settings and "Adjust[ing] List Indents," but that doesn't seem to work. I'm a little hesitant to use the mock Lvl1 style because of how cantankerous this document has already been recognizing numbering restarts and continuations. The first time this happened to me, I had to start the document completely over. That is not an option this time.

Anyone else need a wall to bang your head against?

I've also noticed that if I try to adjust the indentation with the sliders in the tabs bar, the style will revert to wonky when I close and reopen the file. Now I've got six styles that all look the same but aren't associated with each other, so that'll be fun to come back to later.
