Bullets and Indentation - Changes automatically

[ColG]

Hello

I have a document that is used by multiple users. I have a style for
numbering. The numbering has an indent of -1.5, so it looks as if it's in
the margin. I have 2 problems

1. when I double click on number itself the indentation changes to 0
2. when other users open the document, the indentation automatically changes
to 0 even without double-clicking on it.

I am using Word 2003. Any ideas as to why this happening?
All help most welcome.
Thanks

See if the "Automatically update document styles" option is selected in Tools
| Templates and Add-Ins. If it is, clear it.

Also, note that you must carefully adjust the indentation via the numbering
options, not via the Paragraph dialog box, for numbered lists.
