Numbered lists
On the Home tab, click the Multilevel List button, and then click Define New
List Style. In this dialog box, you can set the desired number format for each level. For more control, click the Format button, and then click Numbering, where you can set indents and attach paragraph styles to the various levels. When you have created a list style, you can apply it to text from the Multilevel List button (choose the list style name in the List Styles category). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "John9210" wrote in message ...

Numbered lists
Does this mean that you must set up a new List style for every different
indentation variation (0", .5" 1.0", etc) for multilevel lists in one document or different indents in different documents? OR Is there a way to change the default indent on a whole Multilevel list (Bulleted or Numbered) in a new document. When I open the style to modify it, the type is not 'list' and I cannot change the indents. -- Dave Robinson "Stefan Blom" wrote: On the Home tab, click the Multilevel List button, and then click Define New List Style.

Numbered lists
No, each list style has nine levels of numbering, each of which can have its
own indentation settings. (You can change the settings via Modify Style, Format, Numbering. Make sure to click the More button so that you can see all the options in the dialog box.) To choose a different level in a numbered text paragraph, use Home tab | Multilevel List | Change List Level, or use the Increase Indent/Decrease Indent buttons on the Home tab, or use Alt+Shift+Left/Right arrow. Just like other styles, you can copy a created list style to other documents or templates, which makes it easy to reuse it. To copy a style, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click Manage Styles. Click Import/Export to display the Organizer dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dave Robinson" wrote in message ...

Numbered lists
Stefan: Thanks so much for your response.
I am so frustrated with Word 2007. I am very familiar with creating and using styles in Word 2003, following Shana Kelly's advise, but I am still confused with styles in 2007. When I modify a Multilevel style in the Styles Pane, the type is Paragraph, and the List type is not an option, like it is when creating a style. Therefore I do not have access to change the indenting of the list. If I change the indent, it only appplies to Level 1. Level 2-9 remain indented as originally defined and I cannot change it. I am also confused by the new MultiLevel "List Library" and "List Styles" that appear to be different from the Styles Pane List. What is th difference between the Styles in the Styles Pane, the List Library and List styles? And more importantly, when should each be used? Maybe I am just not using these 3 functions correctly. For my job, I must create documents that have multiple (200+) Multilevel Level Numbered and bulleted Lists (all starting with 1). Often one or more of the Multilievel lists must be indented further than (or less than) the rest. How do I do this? I am going nuts trying to do this in 2007. -- Dave Robinson "Stefan Blom" wrote: No, each list style has nine levels of numbering, each of which can have its own indentation settings.

I am very familiar with creating and using styles in Word 2003, following Shana Kelly's advise, but I am still confused with styles in 2007. Well, there's certainly a learning curve...

Therefore I do not have access to change the indenting of the list. If I change the indent, it only appplies to Level 1. Level 2-9 remain indented as originally defined and I cannot change it. Yes, this is a big difference in Word 2007: you can no longer use the Modify Style dialog box for a *paragraph* style to edit a multilevel (outline-numbered) list. Instead, you have to modify the list style or, for a list which was not created via a list style, by placing the insertion point in a top-level numbered item and then clicking Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. You can still see any attached paragraph styles by clicking the More button in the Define New Multilevel List dialog box (compare this dialog box to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog of Word 97-2003; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...umbering.html). I am also confused by the new MultiLevel "List Library" and "List Styles" that appear to be different from the Styles Pane List. What is th difference between the Styles in the Styles Pane, the List Library and List styles? And more importantly, when should each be used? Maybe I am just not using these 3 functions correctly. The "List Library" corresponds to the built-in lists found in the Format | Bullets and Numbering dialog box of previous versions. Unfortunately, none of these built-in lists are created as list styles, and only a few of them are attached to styles. sigh "List Styles" are your custom list styles; they appear under Home tab | Multilevel List once they have been created in a document. The Styles pane is different from the Styles and Formatting pane in Word 2002/2003. Even if you display all styles in the Styles pane, you still can't see list styles (or table styles). I believe the purpose of this is to limit the number of entries shown, and I agree that it is confusing. Note, however, that if you click the Manage Styles button on the Styles pane, and then click the Edit tab, you'll find the list styles there. Click the Modify button if you want to modify the selected style (list style or any other type of style). You cannot apply a style via the Manage Styles dialog box, though. Instead, when you want to apply a list style to text, use the "List Styles" category found at Home tab | Multilevel List. You can also right-click a list style here and choose to Modify it (which is a different way to bring up the Modify Style dialog box). Note that the safest way to make use of numbered lists in Word 2007 is to create them as list styles, and link each numbering level to styles, all of which can be done via the Modify Style dialog box (in the dialog box, click the Format button, and then click Numbering). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP For my job, I must create documents that have multiple (200+) Multilevel Level Numbered and bulleted Lists (all starting with 1).

Stefan:
WOW! Thanks for the in-depth response. I will give all this a whirl and see how it all works. I work in a govt agency that is rolling out MS 2007 in the next few months to many thousands of users. As a current power user I have had it installed earlier so I can tackle the learning curve and hopefully be of support the rest of the staff as 2007 is rolled out. So your efforts on my behalf will be multiplied exponentially. Thank You -- Dave Robinson "Stefan Blom" wrote: "Dave Robinson" wrote in message ... Stefan: Thanks so much for your response.
