Default Adjust list indent in Tables

I have a bulleted list in a table. I can adjust the position of the bullet,
and of the second line of the bulleted text (hanging), but not the space
between the bullet and the text. The context menu command "adjust list
indent" seems to only be available on the standard page or a text box, but
not for tables.

Click the actual bullet (or number) to select it. Then you can right-click
and choose Adjust List Indents from the context menu.

OK, now I get the command in the context menu, but it generally does not
work. When I input a value for "bullet posiition", it moves the bullet, but
not necessarily to the same position as a previous bullet that is also
highlighted. When I input a value for "text indent" it moves the bullet,
instead of the text.

I cannot seem to reproduce what you are describing. Does it help if you
create a bulleted style and apply it to the relevant cells?
