I need to know how to PERMANENTLY Adjust list indents to anything other than .25" number position & .05" text indents on my lists.

I am a fairly savvy Word user. I know how to adjust list indent in my numbered or bulleted lists. My problem is when I use numbered or bulleted list it always reverts to a number position of .25, & a text indent of 0.5" in my list. As I said, I know how to go in and change this by right-clicking, the number or bullet, scrolling to 'adjust list indents' and setting the applicable spaces. This works fine for this list but I have same problem on next one. Is there a way to do permanent setting?

The reply by Shauna. with the applying styles, etc., is way too complicated.  I just want to be able to type

1. + TAB and instead of it always being the number at tab position '.25' and the space after it being 0.5, i.e., .25 further to the right.  (Actually I have my tabs set at 0.5)

 

 I want the number to be at '0', i.e.,  at my left margin, and then the tab to .5.

 

CAN THIS BE DONE WITHOUT MY DOING SOME HUGE PROGRAM OR  FORMATTING?
