I'm not sure exactly what you've done, but you need to modify the style
itself, and you need to do it through the Numbering dialog, as all the
settings governing left and hanging indents and the tab stop for text after
the number are all set there and override any settings you may make in the
Paragraph dialog.

Hi--thanks so much for getting back to me!! I REALLY appreciate your
help! : )
If I understand what you are saying, at first it was in the paragraph (the
text part of the heading?) dialog. I would tell the text to be, say,
indented and tabbed .5". So, now all my text has the correct spacing
between
the heading number and text. Now, all my headings are indented 0.13" from
the left margin. I will correct it, updated it, save it, but when I close
the file and reopen, the headings are right back to being 0.13" from the
left
margin. I might add, this is a rather large file (300 pages, 14MB+) and
put
together from several files.
Have a good evening!

Are you changing the indents in the Numbering dialog or in the Paragraph
dialog? The former override the latter.

Hi--
I change the position of my tab and indent for numbered headings
(like,
Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3), update the style throughout the
document for the heading, but when I close the document and open it
back
up,
it's right back where it was before. This is so weird! Help, please!
