When I am using outlining in Word and hit return and then tab, it gives puts
the next level numbering below at a prescribed tab set, which is further to
the right than I prefer. So, I would like to change this default tab stop
within outlining.

Is there a way to change the default tabs used in outlining withing MS Word
2003?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Shauna Kelly) for the help.

I believe I have followed the instructions in the website you gave corectly.
But something odd happens. If I stay in the same document where I made all
of the changes to the Heading styles, I can press Alt-Ctrl-1 and it will
apply Heading 1 style, or press Alt-Ctrl 2 and apply Heading style 2, etc.
This gives the numbering an all.

However, if I am in a new document and press Alt-Ctrl-1 it does NOT put any
numbering down at all.

What do I need to change?

Did you link the outline numbering to styles *and* save the modified styles
to the template?
