Change Multilevel List Numbering Style
So I started creating a document using the multilevel list to number my
headings. When I started the document all of the headings were left aligned. Now I have been asked by my boss to change the format to make them indented as the subsections get lower and lower in the levels. Something like this 1. 1.1. 1.2. 1.2.1. etc. Is there an easy way to change formatting for all of the headers? There is a style already included in Word 2007 that is what I want, I just can get it to apply to all of the headings at once. |

I any case, make sure you read this page before using Outline Numbering, it is a must! http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html -- ______________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil Montreal, Canada |

Change Multilevel List Numbering Style
Thanks. That was some help but I'm still not quite there yet. I did you use
styles for all of the headings. I think what I am not trying to do is change the numbering style for all of those headings at once. The web page you referenced is really written for Word 2003 and older. It's much harder to follow for word 2007 as the fromatting otions have changed quite a bit in the new UI.

Change Multilevel List Numbering Style
Not really. I don't want to define a new multi-level list. I want to use one
that word already has defined. No sense in redoing what is already there. "Jean-Guy Marcil" wrote: Matt D was telling us: Matt D nous racontait que : Thanks.

Change Multilevel List Numbering Style
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 item of your list (for heading numbering, this means the first Heading 1 paragraph of your document). Then click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. If you have created a list style, you can modify it via the Manage Styles dialog box: In the Styles pane, click Manage Styles. On the Edit tab, locate your style, and click Modify. You will get access to all aspects of numbering if you click Format and then Numbering. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Matt D" wrote in message ... Not really.

Change Multilevel List Numbering Style
In the define new multilevel list dialog there's a "Set for all levels"
button. Click that button and the resulting dialog allows you to set the bullet/number position and the text position for the first level and the additional indent for each subsequent level. This is new for W2007. Pam Matt D wrote: So I started creating a document using the multilevel list to number my headings. When I started the document all of the headings were left aligned.
