Default Outline number positions change when I re-open doc

In Tools | Templates and Add-Ins, make sure that "Automatically update
document styles" is cleared.

If everything else fails, try copying the entire document except the
final paragraph mark into a new file. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/CorruptDoc.htm.

Yep, that's how I do things! It doesn't seem to happen with all the
documents created with that template, just this one - but it's long,

so I'm
trying to avoid having to start again...

Did you make sure to set up numbering correctly, as explained at

Specifically, make sure to set the paragraph indents in the

Customize
Outline Numbered List dialog box, not in the Paragraph dialog box.

In Word 2003, I have a set of numbered headings and numbered

text
paragraph
styles that all follow on from each other and work together (for

instance
heading 2.1 will be followed by heading 2.2 or 2.1.2 depending

on
the level,
and the text after 2.1.2 will be numbered at 2.1.2.1 and so on).

I have the numbers set left, and the text indented at 2 cm, for

all
of the
styles. However, when I re-open the file, I find that the

styles
themselves
have changed and all the numbers and the text have jumped across

the
page by
1.9 cm, so that the numbers are indented at 1.9, and the text at

3.9
cm.
It's driving me nuts! Can anyone help?
