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.

Did you use styles for each level?

I any case, make sure you read this page before using Outline Numbering, it
is a must!

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.

Did Pamelia's tip (For Word 2007) prove to be useful or not?

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.

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.

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.
