Select the paragraph where you want to add a hanging indent.

Under Special, select one of the following indent styles: Hanging First Line None On Hanging and First Line indents, you can adjust the depth of the indent with the Byfield. Getting the first tab setting for all of the numbered paragraphs far enough to the right so that the first tab space is an adequate distance from ALL of the paragraph numbers (the suggestion I made above) is the only way get them uniform. Go to Home> Paragraphdialog launcher > Indents and Spacing. If you’re looking for a solution that gets paragraph 10(a) perfectly aligned with paragraph 9(a) without having to re-set tab settings for 1-9, I cannot help you. Select the Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces check box. In the left pane, click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options. If you’re putting a tab after a paragraph number that you’re entering manually, and that first left tab setting falls too close to “9(a)”, then when you get to “10(a)”, the next tab setting is naturally going to be further to the right than the first post-number tab setting for number “9(a)”. Set Indentation Using the Tab Key Click the File tab, and then click Options. (2) What are your tab settings (defaults and manuals)? Are they the same throughout your document, or do they differ within or between these numbered paragraphs? (1) Are you typing the paragraph numbers in manually, or using automatic paragraph numbering? Those will be two totally different scenarios that require two totally different answers.

After all, I can’t see your or Wayne’s documents, so I’m trying to answer your questions (on my own time, at that) without the benefit of being able to examine your document:
