Changing bullet and number defaults

I have tried the "Cntl-Shft-S" option and always crash Word and selecting "modify"

Went to blank document (the only one open), Home-->Paragraph Dialog Box --> made desired change, selected "Set as Default" for all documents.  It doesn't take!!!  Every time I have a bullet list with indented bullets, the setting changes to enable "Don't accept space ...".  I've tried several slightly different approaches but nothing works.  

This is a major annoyance since I use lots and lots of lists with bullets and indents!!!  SUggestions?

Are you saying that you want to change the Line Spacing and/or Spacing Before/After settings for numbered and bulleted lists in Word? Assuming that you are using the default settings, Word applies the List Paragraph style to numbered and bulleted paragraphs, so you will have to modify that style.

You also mention that Word crashes. When does that happen?

Please elaborate.
