HOW TO SET HANGING INDENT IN WORD 2010 UPDATE

I select “Paragraph” from the drop down box and change left and hanging indents to 0.75cm. When I apply the desired numbering style from the “Modify Style” window, selecting “Numbering” from the “Format” drop down box, it gives me the right number format, but with indents of 0.63cm again. So I go through the process of modifying the style again. If I now reapply that style I lose all indents and numbering. It looks nearly right except for the hanging indent, but if I show the Styles window (Ctlr+Alt+S) and hover over the style, I see that “List Number 2” now has NO numbering, NO indents of any kind, even though the paragraph I had applied it to previously looks pretty good. As before I change the style in the new document. I want to change the numbering style to “i, ii, iii, …”. I create a document based on the company template and use the List Number 2 style. I have set up a company template “Report.dotx” and copied over all of the list styles from the normal.dotm template to the report template. The only way to have the list numbering restart from i and keep my hanging indent is to manually adjust the indent on the ruler at the top of the page. The numbering restarts, but the hanging indent also changes to 0.63cm. So I right click on the first item in the second list and select “Restart at i”. When I use this style it works fine on the first list, but when I create another list, it continues the numbering from the first list. Immediately I do this, the hanging indent changes to 0.63cm (i.e.25in).

However, I want to change the numbering style to “i, ii, iii, …” so I change the style in the new document (which is linked to the Normal.dom template but has automatically update styles turned off). Now I use this style in a document that is based on the Normal template. The tab setting is to have a single left tab at 1.5 and it is a numbered list with numbering style “1, 2, 3, …” I have set it up in the Normal.dotm template with left indent of 0.75 and a hanging indent of 0.75. My current problem relates to a my style called “List Number 2”. When I use these on bulleted and numbered lists I start to get problems. I find that gets me into much too much trouble! None of my styles have “automatically update” selected. So I use a default tab distance of 0.75 cm and have indents that are multiples of this value for left indents, hanging indents etc. I set my styles up on the Normal template to have “nice” indent values in the metric system. This problem is currently being exhibited in Word 2007, but I also used to experience it in Word 2003, though I don’t ever remember it happening in Word 2000. I have a problem with styles that change their paragraph properties – specifically indentation values – without my wanting them to.
