bullets

I am putting together a very large business manual which incorporates numbered headings, steps to follow, diagrams, etc.

When using the bullet points, they align perfectly as I work through the processes. However when I include a diagram, or something different from the "norm" of text, the alignment changes.

I would like all the bullet points to be aligned in the whole document regardless of where they appear in the document. Is there a way to save the settings so that the bullets always appear in the same position?

Currently I am having to reset the indents by dragging the tabs on the ruler. This will be a large document, so I don't want to manually adjust the numbered bullets every time.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
