I like the convenience of autonumbering, but for some reason, the default
style has the numbers indented 0.5 and then further indenting on the tab and
text begin. I change it each and every time to 0, 0.3, and 0.3, but I am
really hoping there is a way to change the default style. Can't find the
answer anywhere. Thanks so much!

Apply the List Number style: Hold the Shift key and press the arrow
next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar, and scroll down to
find the style name. (Once you've used it, you don't need to hold
Shift when applying it again.) By default, this style has no left
indent.

Note that using styles to apply numbering is the only way to ensure
that it has a consistent look. However, you can modify the numbering,
fonts, and so on. To do this, start at the Modify Style dialog box
(see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html); for
example, to change numbering options, you would click
FormatNumbering.
