If you carefully place the insertion point in the first top-level paragraph
of a numbered list, you can use the Define New Multilevel List dialog box to
modify an existing list. This approach is necessary if you are editing a
list created (without list styles) in an older version of Word.
Of course, for new lists in Word 2007, using list styles will be easier.

If you need to make any customizations to the numbering scheme, again,
put
the cursor in the first heading 1, click the multilevel list icon, and
then
at the bottom of the list gallery choose Define new multilevel list.
The
dialog that opens to take your settings looks very much like the one in
W2003.
Instead of using "Define New Multilevel List" use "Define New List Style".
Define New Multilevel List will enable you to define a new numbering
scheme but it doesn't provide a means to modify the scheme later -- you'd
need to use Define New Multilevel List again, create new numbering scheme,
and cross your fingers the one you didn't want is removed from the
document and doesn't come back to haunt you later in the form of spaghetti
numbering. Define New List Style also enables to define a new numbering
scheme but it also enables you to assign a name to your numbering scheme
so it can be modified later by right-clicking the thumbnail in the
Multilevel List gallery and then clicking Modify.
Note: After you select Define New List Style assign a name to your List
Style, click Format at the bottom and then click Numbering to access the
Multilevel List dialog box.
