I had the same thought when I first saw "Define new list". I didn't want to
create a new list!! One of my old postings here said that, I think. But ...
In previous versions the button said "Customize", and many of us thought we
were modifying our outline lists. But that was not so. Whenever we
customized an outline list, Word made a new one. I've read many rants
criticizing MS about this in various Word forums over the past 7 years. So
the situation is not really unknown. I think MS now wants to make it very
clear that any change to a " multilevel list" creates a new one because that
is one of the main differences between multilevel lists and list styles.
So bite the bullet, create a new list.

Thanks
Unless you created a list style, Define New Multilevel List *is* the way to
modify an existing list. Place the insertion point in the first top-level

Did Pamelia's tip (For Word 2007) prove to be useful or not?
