This is by design in recent versions of Word. If you don't want numbered
paragraphs indented, apply the List Number style instead of using the
Numbering button (this is a better idea for a number of reasons, anyway).

Every time I select a numbering option (if I have highlighted the text),
word
automatically formats it differently than what I selected meaning I have
to
go back and move the margins, and/or decrease indent.
Has anyone had this before and why does it do this and can I fix it.
Thanks,
SHona
