Thanks Stefan. I thought this might be the case. I know how to set up
new
styles, so will revert to this more cumbersome approach.

No, you cannot change the default settings of those buttons. Instead, use
styles to set up numbering and bullet formatting. If you want specific
instructions, tell me your version of Word.

I have set up my default paragraphs in Word in metric units (i.e.
default
tabs are 1cm). When I use the bullet or number buttons in the Home tab
the
formatting is in inches (indent 0.63 cm = 1/4 inch, hanging indent =
0.63
cm)
which leaves the first line out of line with the body of the
paragraph -
first line indent at 1 cm, body of the paragraph at 1.26 cm. Can I
change
the default formatting when I use the bullet of number buttons?
