How to format multiple 'paragraphs' with the same indent settings in Word?

I'm not sure if this has come about as a result of pasting from a Windows generated Word doc into a Mac one but some of the paragraph formatting is now slightly off.

Is there a way to select blocks of text and force it to all have the same indent settings?

the text is repeating blocks like

THIS IS A HEADER

• [x]bullet point with some stuff
• another one
• same again

THIS IS ANOTHER HEADER

• [y]more bullets
• and again
• and so on

Since pasting, [x] bullets and [y] bullets no longer line up vertically
