Default hanging indents/list #'s

How do you create a numbered list from a document that you have pasted into
Word and get hanging indents to work? I've been going bonkers with spacing.
Each document has a 2" drawing canvas with pictures inside. The canvas runs
the entire length of the page. I am trying to number the directions that go
with the photos. I can get the first line to put the number at the margin of
the drawing canvas, and have a space between the number and the text. If the
text is more than 1 line long, I can't get it to align directly below the
line above. It always starts at the left margin.

More often than not, it also numbers the blank lines in between the steps in
the directions so I have to go back and delete them.

I've tried the "Defind New Number Format" dialog box, but I think I have a
glitch. Nothing moves or changes inside Preview box inside the dialog box no
matter what I do.

Thanks!
