Thanks Pam, that is very helpful. So, to modify Heading styles integrated
with multilevel list numbering, I go in to modify through the "Define a
New
Multilevel List" link, rather than through the Modify Styles dialog box.
I
still think it's confusing because if you go in to modify the Heading
style
directly (by accessing the Modify Style dialog box), it doesn't seem to
allow
modification of the numbering on the Heading styles, even though there is
a
Numbering link there.
Yes, that is confusing. I keep it straight by remembering that multilevel
list numbering is not applied or adjusted through the modify styles dialog
(with one (probably a bug) exception: removing numbering from styles after
multilevel list has been changed to none).
Indeed, it is interesting that you can use the Modify Style dialog box to
clear the numbering for a style. As you point out, this might very well be a
bug.
The other (potentially safer) way to clear multilevel numbering from
paragraph styles is via the multilevel list dialog box, choosing "(no
style)" for each numbering level.

Bullets and numbering is still in
the modify styles picks because you CAN apply regular numbering and
bullets
through modify styles.

Also, "Define a New Multilevel List" is used in this
case to modify the current list numbering, not to create a new list (since
I
don't need to name a new list here).
But in any case, so long as I can
modify my heading numbering now, I'm happy. Thanks! - Bob
Yes, using Multilevel lists is the W2007 way to number headings (& of
course
there's another). The method to apply them is this: (1) Place your
cursor in
[quoted text clipped - 36 lines]
frustrating that they changed something that previously worked well and
intuitively.)
