Good Morning Margaret: I think I have this figured out (with your help) I
have hopefully one last question. In your previous e-mail you indicated I
could put a button on my toolbar for my new list. How do I complete that?
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.

news 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
