How to link bullet icon to List Bullet style?
You can intercept the built-in FormatBulletDefault command by placing this
simple macro in your normal.dotm: Sub FormatBulletDefault() Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleListBullet End Sub For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. But note that this macro will only run if you click the Bullet button; it doesn't run if you press the arrow on the Bullet button (which allows you to choose a specific bullet format). To apply the List Bullet style, it's actually easier to make use of the built-in Ctrl+Shift+L shortcut. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via msnews.microsoft.com) "Sandra" wrote in message ...

How to link bullet icon to List Bullet style?
Stefan,
Does that just work for me? How do I do this in a document/template for multiple users per project? I doubt I will be given access to everyone's Normal.dot* (various versions of Word--mostly 2003 and 2007, but some 2010). But I need to ensure that whatever method the user applies to get lists, the correct style is applied. Years ago, I had done something (maybe VB?) that changed this for all users of a template, but I cannot recall exactly what I had done.

How to link bullet icon to List Bullet style?
Okay, update:
I put it in the document (quasi-template; users will be asked to copy and then make edits) and tested on another 2007 user's laptop. I added Sub FormatNumberDefault() Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleListNumber End Sub to do the same thing for the Numbering. And then I linked the List Number 1-5 to one of the Multilevel list styles, so the indent/outdent arrow keys would bump the styles down/up the List Number chain. It all works on the other user's laptop EXCEPT the List Number 2, which should be a lowercase a, comes up as an UPPERCASE A from the indent/outdent arrow keys. Applying the List Number 2 style gets the correct lowercase a. I used the Multilevel list name as ListNumber--is that a standard name? Does the Multilevel list name need to be unique?

For what it's worth, adding a *.dotm file containing the code to each user's
Startup folder should work. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via msnews.microsoft.com) "Sandra" wrote in message ...
