Changing the format/style for numbered paragraphs AND MAKING THEM STICK!

[FearlessStamper]

I DO NOT like the format/style for default numbered paragraphs. I want the number at .5", the tab at 1", and the paragraph to wrap to the beginning of the line. I have tried many times to create a style and save it to my normal template, but every time i then copy that style into a document, it turns back to the default numbering style!!!

HELP!!!

I note you are using the 64-bit version of Word. There is no reason to use the 64-bit version of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or OneNote. There can be disadvantages in these programs.

High-power users of Excel or Access will benefit from the 64-bit version.
