I am having a similar problem with my multilevel lists. Originally, as I was
creating such a list, if I needed to make a sublevel vs. a new heading level
for example, I could hit the tab button and the heading level "II." would
change to a indented sublevel "A." This is following heading level "I." and
if I was trying to get to level "I.A."
Somehow, that has stopped happening. Instead, after moving to a new level
("II."), and hitting tab to make it a sublevel ("A.") of "I.", it remains at
the starting level ("II."), and the cursor simply moves over a tab-space.
In order to make a new sublevel, I now have to hit the "Increase Indent"
button, or right click"numbering""change list level."
I've tried defining a new list style, but this didn't resolve the issue.
Any other suggestions?

Stefan,
That is exactly how I created my multilevel list. I have the different list
levels linked to different fonts and styles, like "Heading 1" "Heading 2,"
etc. I did all of that when creating a custom multilevel list. When I start
a multilevel list, Microsoft does identify it. It matches each level with
the correct style. However, when I press enter at the end of each level, the
multilevel list does not advance automatically. For example, after I type
"B. The farm house is in the country" and then press enter, "C." does not
automatically appear on the next line. Instead, I have to manually type "C."
When I do type "C." Word 2007 does recognize the correct style, and it
changes the font. However, I would like my custom multilevel list to
automatically advance because manutally typing each letter or number is a
huge waste of time. Thank you for the help.

Not all lists are recognized by Word's autoformatting features. Instead, set
up a multilevel list with the desired formatting. On the Home tab of the
ribbon, click the Multilevel List button in the Paragraph group. Then click
Define New Multilevel List. This shows a dialog box that allows you to link
paragraph styles to each list level (in the same way you could in previous
versions of Word); see

I used Word 2007 for Outlining my class notes. I have created a custom
multilist that I like, but it will not advance automatically. Example:
After I type "IV.", then a line of text, and then press Enter, the next
line
is blank. I then have to type "V." manually. Microsofts default lists
will
advance manually, but I cannot get the multilists that I create to advance
automatically. Thanks for any help.
