Add one format to Bullets and Numbering

There's a very basic outline numbering format that seems to be missing from WP. In my experience in the legal profession, this by far is the most commonly used format. I have created and added it to my version, but even still, it is so common and simple it should come with the other 12 options available by default.

It's simply this: Tab #. Tab. (No hard indent).
I've attached a screenshot.

    It's a little daunting, but you can create your own numbered outlines. Read all about it at Barry MacDonnell's WordPerfect Toolbox web site: https://wptoolbox.com/tips/AutoNumb.html.

    And another: Numbered outline with increasing indented subordinates (1 Indent for level 2, 2 indents for level 3 . . .). This is heavily used in Engineering specs and standards.

    In a long document the hard indent is annoying and time consuming. Almost every new paragraph takes at least on delete the hard indent and then hit tab for another try at an indented paragraph. I thought there might be a better way, but don't have time to look for it. I have no use for a hard indent.
