Why does my tab reset itself within a style?

A

Can someone please explain the mysterious resetting of a tab in styles? I am
working on a very large and complex technical document. All the
headings/subheadings use automatic hierarchical numbering, and in each
heading the number is left on the margin while the heading text is indented
by a tab to 2cm. All my headings are controlled by styles, however one
heading/style ignores my command for a 2cm tabstop and resets itself to 2.54.
The style that mysteriously resets itself is based on another heading/style
that happily stays where it is put.

Make sure to define the tab stop in the *numbering options*; that way, it
should work properly.

If you want detailed instructions, please tell us which version of Word you
are using.
