When you need a numbered list without a hanging indent in Microsoft Word, create a custom list style instead of modifying a built-in one.

How do you continue multilevel numbering in Word? Open the Word document, and select the set of text to which you want to apply multilevel numbering.

If you are using a standard numbered format, the indented points may take the form of a letter, bullet point or roman numeral. Change the format by selecting a number-based Multilevel List.
