I didn't make that line clear: When I say "I make sure the correct pane is
highlighted", I mean that I visually confirm that the highlighted pane is the
one that has the style name in it. I don't actually click on a pane.

It is already! If you change to some other pane (list gallery entry), you'll
assign a different list template, and that's the reason why setting the
"start at" value doesn't work, and why your indents and other formatting
change.

and click on Customize. I set the start-at value to 1 and click OK.
The target number doesn't change, but the formatting for that style
changes drastically.
