Here's a simple way:


1. Format a paragraph that currently has the 'Normal' Style applied to look the way to want all numbered paragraphs at your first level to appear.
2. Click on Style>New Style and give the paragraph a meaningful name (the default will be 'Style1') and set the 'Style based on' to 'Normal'.
3. Change the format to the way you want all numbered paragraphs at your second level to appear.
4. Click on Style>New Style and give the paragraph a meaningful name and set the 'Style based on' to the Style you used for the previous Style.
Done

Thanks for your prompt reply, it's not exactly the solution I'm looking for but it works, so I guess it'll do. Please confirm if this is how to apply:
- create style as you suggested above
- open up the style list and leave the newly created style in the opened window
- when there's a bullet list to apply the new style, just click the style created and the bullet with no indent will be there.

Just a curiosity, why I can't change the bullet indent in menu icon? Is it a bug or you are not supposed to change it?

Thanks again for your suggestion.
