Default Numbering - Left indent and hanging indent separate

You are using auto numbering, I suppose? In the multilevel list dialog box,
specify a value for "Aligned at" that is slightly smaller than the 0.5" that
you are using for "Text indent at." Note that you cannot use zero for
"Aligned at," as that will put the number in the left margin.

I tried that, but that doesn't seem to work with Hanging paragraph style.
If
I use the hanging format option, then the whole numbered paragraph moves
away
from the number, even when I've set the number to align right. Normally
hanging doesn't align the first line, but this happens automatically with
Numbering, and I can't figure out how get these two things to work
correctly
when Numbering is in use.

I am trying to format a bibliography in which I would like each citation
to
be numbered. I can't figure out how to separate the left indent and
hanging
indent. Is this at all possible in Word 2007?
For example, I would like the left indent to stay tight with the
number,
but
retain the 0.5" hanging indent. I've looked both in paragraph and
number
formatting and can't get it to work. Thank you.
