Strictly speaking, the built-in lists of the "List Library" are not list
styles. They are more like the built-in numbering galleries of the old
Format | Bullets and Numbering dialog box.
To actually get a list style, you would have to set up numbering
from the start, via Multilevel List | Define New List Style. In the dialog
box, you can click Format, and then Numbering; this displays the Modify
Multilevel List dialog box which is similar to the Customize Outline
Numbered List dialog of previous versions of Word (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...umbering.html). Set the
indentation and number formatting, and attach styles as in previous
versions.

This one puzzled me too since what you have to do is so different from the
best guidance for 2003. The quick answer is that you don't --define
*heading
styles* to give numbers, that is.
Instead, from the Home ribbon, paragraph group, click the multilevel
list
icon and choose one of the list styles that is tied to headings. If your
styles pane is open when you do this, you'll see that your headings now
have
numbers. On my computer those numbers are correct out of the box. If
yours
are not, from the list styles dropdown, click "define new multilevel
list".
Check that the Restart list after... values are correct.

How can I define a heading style in Word 2007 that gives me outline
numbering, eg,
1
1.1
1.2
1.3
2
2.1
When I try to set up the style for the heading, I get this numbering
sequence:
1
1.1
2.1
3.1
2
4.1
I have tried modifying & creating a heading style, but am unable to get
this
to work. I have done this successfully in all the prior versions of
Word,
but not this version.
Before quoting another link, please realize that all the references that
have been mentioned in this discussion area do not apply to Word 2007.
The
screen prints show screens that look the same, but are missing several
key
fields in Word 2007.
Thanks for any help.
