Default Numbering Indent on Centered Paragraphs

Try changing the hanging indent: Format | Paragraph - thats what I do ;-)

I'm working on a document that uses numbered, centered, all cap Arial for
Heading 1. The numbering format is 1.0, 2.0, etc., and Format - Bullets and
Numbering is set for a 0.4" indent after the number.

The first nine sections (1.0 to 9.0) all have more or less the same amount
of space between the number and the text of the heading. But Section 10.0
and up have almost no space between the number and the heading text. It
seems that the indent is set from the beginning of the paragraph number,
since as the number gets larger the space gets smaller. I can set the indent
to provide more space for 10.0 and up, but then I have too much space for
section 1.0.

Do any of you know a setting that will add a fixed space between the END of
the number and the heading text? I've played with a few possibilities, but I
haven't found the secret combination yet. (I hate those secret combinations!)

Thanks,
