"Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists" should prevent Word from
changing the style when you apply a bulleted or numbered list (as direct
formatting via buttons on the ribbon). This is also available as a
application-wide setting (in the Advanced category, under "Editing
options").

I had certainly heard about the second--not sure about the first, and I'm
not clear on what it would accomplish.

Actually, there are at least two new compatibility options for Word 2007:
- "Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists"
- "Split apart page break and paragraph mark"
(Saving a file in *.doc format would undoubtedly reveal even more new
options.)
I agree that the KB article isn't always helpful, but at least it gives
us some information...

I don't think there are actually any new ones in Word 2007, but the
explanations in that article aren't always very helpful for any version,
anyway. A lot of them are kind of trial-and-error, I think.

The following KB article explains most of the compatibility options:

Options
dialog box in Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000

There doesn't seem to be a similar article written for Word 2007.
