Indents vs Tabs

[Guest]

Why in a numbered list does word change the indents if I change the start
re-numbering?

Why in a numbered list does word change the indents if I change the start
re-numbering?

Did you change the indents for the paragraphs after applying the numbering?

Numbering settings take precedence over paragraph formatting, so when a list
"recalculates" the numbering settings will be re-applied.

Thanks for the response Cindy, but no, I made no changes. In fact, I was
only trying to demonstrate to my students how to apply Styles, so there was
no preceeding formatting at all. We created a numbered list, only three
lines, hit two hard returns and then wanted to restart the numbering for
another short list. When I set the list to start at 1, the whole list
bounced to the middle of the page.

Odd. I don't suppose you saved that document? Which version of Word was it?
