In the process of upgrading from Word 2003 to Word 2013 I am re-doing all my templates which include multilevel List associated with Headings 1 - 9.
All the Multilevel List have a First Line Indent of .5" times the Outline Level, for instance level 2 has a first line indent of 1". The indentation for the rest of the paragraph is 0" allowing each additional line to start at the left margin.
So here is the question; How can I prevent the following from happening?
If I have a numbered paragraph with Heading 1-9, and I back space through the number - instead of just removing the number and leaving me a paragraph with the first line indented and the rest of the paragraph going back to the margin, the entire paragraph becomes indented the same amount that the first line was indented.
Here are some images that so what is happening. The only difference between the first and second image is one keystroke.
I strongly agree that backspacing through the number is not the correct way to remove numbering from this paragraph. With that said, this is not the way it used to work and the drastic difference in the look of the paragraph would be confusing to someone who is not used to styles and multilevel numbering.
So if anyone knows how to keep this from happening I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions. I have tried a wide variety of Word options to see if maybe I just had a setting wrong but have not been able to find any combination that controls this behavior.
Thanks
