Format painter affects unselected items!

i'm using word 2007. i've defined several styles use bullets. i'll describe problem applies style has normal round bullet, left indent of 0.0", , hanging indent of 0.25".

when use format painter pick bullet style , apply paragraph has no bullets, bullet , indent appear desired. problem @ same time desired change happens on unbulleted paragraph, other bullets of same style in document acquire indent of 0.6"! hanging indent unaffected. behavior same whether initial style copy done cursor in bulleted paragraph or entire paragraph selected , whether or not application of fomat painter click in target paragraph or selection of entire paragraph.

on checking style, find has been changed show 0.6" indent. no new style created.

clicking undo button not put indent 0.0" can go style , change indent 0.0" , undesired indents returned measurement.

any ideas may cause problem appreciated. know can avoid applying style using styles window, using format painter.

in view, don't use format painter bullets. create bullet style better.
