Perhaps this is another example of problems that seem to be peculiar to my project, but...
If I make a change to the format of an outline numbered list (for example, to change ")" into ". "), the change is accepted and works.
I now move somewhere else in the document, the entry I changed has now reverted to its original form! It gets extremely tedious having to make the changes almost every time I have a numbered list.
Also, it appears it's impossible to change the spacing after bullets. I find the output can look messy because the bullets are far too close to the following text, especially with the larger bullets.

Re: Bullets & Numbering forgetting custom modifications
Hi Peter,
Basic Working Procedures > Text Formatting and Styles > Numbered and Bulleted Lists > Formatting lists: How to change list indents
The one-click Bullets/Numbering buttons are always set to the first (top left) setting in the list style gallery, and only the single-level lists apply. To select all other styles you must always select the drop-down menu and then select the specific list style. To select an outline numbered list style you must always display the Bullets and Numbering dialog.Peter Robertson wrote:I now move somewhere else in the document, the entry I changed has now reverted to its original form!
Please see the following topic in the help for instructions:Also, it appears it's impossible to change the spacing after bullets.
