Default Bullet shortcut Ctrl + Shift + L not auto-indenting bullets (Pic included)

Just a quick question on how to adjust this. I looked into the bullet settings and couldn't get this to work. My problem is that when I use the mouse to click the "create bullet" icon, it auto indents (not a normal 5 space indent) and this is what I want. But when I use the shortcut, it lines it up to the margin. The only time I can get the shortcut to indent like it should is press ctrl + shift+ L then the tab button. Here's a pic of my problem.





Thanks!

Modify the indent of the List Bullet style (which is what gets applied when you press the shortcut keys) as follows: Place the insertion point in the first List Bullet item. Right-click and choose Adjust List Indents from the context menu. Specify 0.25" for "Bullet position." For "Text indent" and "Add tab stop at," specify 0.5". This changes the list. Just in case, you may want to right-click again and click Styles | Update List Bullet to Match Selection.
