WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, you can use one of the following methods:

1. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect.
2. On the AutoFormat As You Type tab, click to clear the Automatic numbered lists check box for numbered lists. For bulleted lists, click to clear the Automatic bulleted lists check box.
3. Click OK.

Method 2: Decrease the Indent for the List

To reset the automatically applied indentation of your list:

1. Select your numbered or bulleted list.
2. On the Formatting toolbar, click Decrease Indent.
