In our templates, the Numbered (and Bulleted) List styles have been painstakingly customized to match our house style design, with indentation differing from the Word default. However, whenever a user clicks either the Numbered List or Bulleted List buttons on the Formatting toolbar, the customized indentation is destroyed and reverts to the Word Default.
This happens when I modify the built-in List styles and also when I create my own List styles, basing them on Normal.
It's like the buttons don't only apply bullets/numbers, but also modify any bulleted/numbered list style in the entire document.
Why does this happen? And how can I make it not happen?
