Default Set a default left margin and indent for bullets

Stefan

Thanks for this. Even though I am very familiar with styles and use them
extensively, I cannot get the default first line and indentation associated
with the the standard bullet to function.

Firstly, in a blank document no style called List Number shows up. If I
press the bullet formatting icon, a bullet appears in the document and a
style called "List Paragraph" shows up. But it's example (in the area that
shows the result of you making changes to the style) does not show a bullet.

Ignoring this, I proceed to set up a hanging indent of .75cm with zero left
indent. I click the radio button that indicates this style is to apply to New
documents based on this template. I then close the existing document and
open a new one based on Normal template. The bullet defaults back to the
original.

I'm stumped.

To specify default formatting, you must use a style. For example, you can
modify the built-in List Number style to suit your needs.

I cannot find out how to do this. I would like left margin to be zero and
indent to be .75cm. Word 2007
