I am typing rules for a bowling league, automatically numbered after I typed
"1." My problem is that about half way down the 2nd page, the document
started tabbing over about 5 spaces after the number, but not on EVERY
number. The document is four pages and on the last page, every number had a
tab after it. When I go to backspace and remove tabs, the number is deleted,
and i must go back to last sentence of previous number and reenter the next
number again. The tab appears again. Therefore, half the document has the
sentence after the number next to the number, and the other half has a tab.
It looks bad. I would like the oringinal small spacing after the number to
be the used. Please help.

For information about how to set up the numbering, see:
How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word
document

If you create a template to hold your numbering scheme, you can use that
template as the basis for new documents (using File New) and the new
documents will then inherit your numbering scheme. To do that, see:
