Apply the List Number style. It has the formatting you want.

Hey, Carol,
Thanks for the help. That is the first thing I did and it only changes
the
formatting for that document and does not become the default for other
documents. I am familiar with Word, but this 2003 has set itself so that
the
numbering goes in to the first tab and does not stay on the margin. I
assume
this has something to do with the style in the Normal template. I am not
familiar with changing the style formats, so this is a stranger to me.
All
my other easy, quick attempts of changing this changes in the immediate
document but does not change it to be the default in successive documents.
THX!!

Hi Shari,
Simply go to Format | Bullets and Numbering | Numbering
Select the type of numbering that you want and click on customize and
under
Number Position fill in where you would like it to be aligned. I hope
this
has been helpful to you.

Okay, I have been looking at posts and trying all of the suggestions
and I am
getting nowhere. So, I will explain my exact problem and hopefully
someone
can answer my prayers.
I work with a program through my job that goes through Word. It
brings up
my template for me and I cannot alter that template; however, if I go
into
Word all by itself and alter things there, then when I bring up the
template
through work and its Word the changes will be there.
What I need to do is change the formatting in the basic normal
everyday used
template so that when I hit enter to go to #2, it will not jump to the
tab
forward. I need everything to stay on the margin. Ex.
1.
2.
As of now, the basic template for Word throws you to the next tab when
you
enter for a #2.
Does anyone know how to do this so that it will be in the default
document
and so that I don't have to change this everytime I bring up a new
document?
Any help would be most appreciated!!
