Your link worked! Thank you so much--you are a lifesaver! I'd still be
at
this if not for you. You're the best!!

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!
