Hi Hazel
The "font" button in the numbering just sets the font of the number. From
the Modify Style dialog, Choose Format Font. That will set the font for
the paragraph as a whole.
By default the Style you set up applies only to the current document. If you
check the "Add to template" box it will be written back to the template
attached to your document - that's probably Normal.dot in your case and if
you want your style to apply to all documents you can write the style back
there. Alternatively set up a new template. To get the style to apply to
existing documents, you'll need to copy it in.
To put a toolbar for a style on a toolbar, use Tools Customize Commands.
Select "Styles" from the left hand list and the style you want from the
right. Drag the style to the keyboard.

Margaret: I thought I was done...but now have a re-occuring trouble
getting
the font and size to stay in the document. On the Customized Outline
Numbered List dialog box ...I set the font for each level to Arial 12 pt.
Then said Okay. But when I call up my list it comes up times new
roman...and
10 or 14 pt...
When I select List Bullet/modify the Modify Style Dialog box appears.
There
are selection options for :
Style based on:....
Style for following paragraph
Add tot emplate
Automatically update
I tried to set here...but not really knowing what these options control???
...but it doesn't seem to keep it going from document to document? Any
thoughts? Thanks, Hazel

Hi Hazel
You just need to change other attributes of the style to match the way
you
want the text to display - set the font and so on using the Modify dialog
for the style. That way applying the style gives you *all* the formatting
you want in one neat package g.

Good Morning Margaret:
Thanks so much for the info. I now have established a customized list
as
you indicated via Shaunakelly site. Do you know of any way to correct
the
mess I got now? When I tried to color the document and change to my
new
customized list it did not really like it if you know what I
mean...went
back
to times new roman 10 font etc etc. If there is a way to fix my
current
document great.....if not I will just move on. Thanks, hazel

OK, you have the numbering applied as direct formatting, unrelated to
the
paragraph styles. If you do this Word will try to manage the list
numbering
for you, but in any reasonably complicated situation (a.k.a real life)
sooner or later it will fail. The lack of "connection" (the numbering
is
not
all part of the same list) is definitely a warning sign.
Instead of using the numbering button on the toolbar, try applying
List
Number style - you can put a button for it on your toolbar in place of
the
standard button. If the number format is not quite as you want it
modify
the
numbering format of the style. For more details see

Hi All: Sorry about the confusion with 2 postings...this is my
first
attemp
at using the discussion group. In general Margaret is on the right
track
with my issue. When I click on number 12...it shades 1 thru 12
gray..as
if
the are "connected". I am unclear of what use this connection is
either?
However when I select number 13...it is out on it's own shading.
Both
are
style format "normal". In my second document 1 thru 6 are listed as
"header", and 7-13 are listed as "normal". When I try to get them
the
same...by highlighting the line and then changing the style it does
not
seem
to work or make the entire numbered list "connected" or all to shade
gray.
I
did not get the Ctrl Q deal to work. I hope this adds a little
detail.
I
tried to do a screen print, but it does not allow for this to be
pasted.
E-mail me back if you need additional details. Thanks, Hazel

Word shades the numbers that belong to the same list. If you have
used
paragraph styles to set up numbering (recommended) then using
Ctrl_Q
(reset
paragraph style) will make all the paragraphs in the same style
part
of
the
same list.

When I click on my numbers some of them are shaded grey and some
are
not.
It
appears to be related to the style format. How can I correct
this
problem.
Been searching for 2 days. HELP
