I hate the way Word indents my bulleted list an extra tab when I type the
second bullet in a list. I like the rest of the autoformating, but hate that
indentation. I have not found any control that allows me to manage that and
retain the assumption that I'm doing a bulleted list and that the next item
should share the formating of the first.

Not quite sure I understand the problem, because I can't say that I've seen
this behavior, but perhaps this will help you:

Make sure that you clear the settings which refer to WordPerfect on
the General tab of ToolsOptions (although these seem to *outdent*
rather than indent the second and subsequent numbered items).

Note that it would be even easier to apply a numbered style, which
will give you full control over the indents: Hold Shift and click the
arrow next to the Style box (on the Formatting toolbar); scroll down
to find the List Number series of styles and pick the one with the
desired indentation.
