I need to have 2 styles look as follows:

(style 1) 62340 Description line (style 2)

The number would be bold, the description line would not. Description line
can be very long, wrapping quite a few times.

Is there an option to have no line break and choose to align 2nd paragraph
with 1st?

I have used Ventura for years but have been asked to try & setup in MS Word,
which I don't think is going to work.

Two options spring to mind

1. just format the number as bold
2. use a character style for the number

Use a table, Weezle. See this:

One way is to apply a paragraph style to the entire paragraph and apply a
character style (such as the built-in style named Strong) to the number
only.

If you really need two paragraph styles, for purposes such as a Table of
Contents, see the last section, "Style separator", of
