Desperately looking for some help from a Jedi-ranked Word format pro. I'm using Word 2016 from Office Professional Plus 2016. I'm writing something for a customer who's particular on format. This has caused me to learn and tweak advanced settings and styles. I have a cover page, which includes a numbered list. This list is formatted to have no indent and no hanging indent, left aligned. There is only the tab that follows the number. At the end of the cover page I have a Next Page Section Break, to help separate it for page numbering and other things. I have de-linked the second page from the first in the Header/Footer page. I then created a table, 2 columns, n rows, and I want the rows to be a numbered list with the same settings (no indent and no hanging indent). What's weird is that rows 2 through n are exactly how I want, but the first cell has a hanging indent that I can't edit. I can't drag with my mouse, and I can't right click and adjust indents. Tried deleting the row but it persists, every time I try making a change it tries to link back to the previous list and reupdates the style to everything I don't want. I keep updating the style and I've even tried making the table list a different style than the list on the cover page and it's not working.
As you maybe can tell I have been digging at this for a while and would really appreciate some knowledgeable responses to try and dig me out of this rabbit hole I have fallen into. It would be nice to focus on the content that eventually needs to go into this thing.
Many thanks,
Indentured Servant
