Changing the number formatting
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!! -- ~Shari |

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. "Shari" wrote: Okay, I have been looking at posts and trying all of the suggestions and I am getting nowhere.

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!! -- ~Shari "Carol" wrote: 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.

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