Hi Terry
But...
The Increase Indent button does not increase the indent at all when the
paragraph in question is in a style that is part of a List Template. So, for
example, if you set up your headings styles (Heading 1 to Heading 9) as an
outline numbered list, then clicking the indent button in a Heading 1
paragraph applies Heading 2 style, which may or may not be indented. In this
case, tab settings don't affect the behaviour of the Increase Indent button.
Hope this helps.

The word 'default' would have removed the ambiguity. We'll see if we can
get that changed.

Doug - Thank you for the feedback.
You clarified the problem. The Increase Indent is set in the "Default tab
stop" in the FormatTabs dialog. This is the only place it can be set
since the Tab dialog of the modify Style dialog does not have a "Default
tab stop" setting. Moreover, the "Default tab stop" is a global setting
which applies to all styles.
The Microsoft help for "indent paragraphs" does not specify that it is
the "Default tab stop" in the FormatTabs dialog which you must set. It
says "If you want to change the position of the [increase] indent, you
can first set a different tab stop."
Thank you for your help.
