Default Get Rid of Tabs in Numbered Lists

Hello,
I'd like to remove tabs from numbered lists. The tab
follows a capital letter followed by a period. As I work
my way down this large document, I might also find list
items starting with small letters, Arabic and Roman
numerals.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ellen

Default Get Rid of Tabs in Numbered Lists

When you set up the numbered list (Format | Bullets and Numbering | Outline
Numbered | Customize), you can substitute a space or nothing for the tab.
For best results, apply numbering only using styles, as described in
