This will take care of the current document.
To have your settings as default in all new documents, you need to store them in the default template.
- create a blank document:
File
>New
>Text Document
(it will inherit the configuration from the default template)
- adjust your
Format
>Bullet & Numbering
settings (and other settings, e.g. styles, while you’re at it; you can also pre-load fixed text)
-
File
>Templates
>Save as Template
: select My Templates category, give it a name and check Set as default template box
You’re done.
