Outline Numbering (now Multilevel Lists) in Word 2007
In my profession--Oracle Database Administration and UNIX/Windows System Administration--I often must produce documentation on the use of our systems and databases for users and administrators. The government agency I work in requires documents to use outline numbering of paragraphs. Through Word 2003, this was fairly easy to accomplish with the Outline Numbered lists. In Word 2007, this has changed somewhat. Outline numbering has been replaced with Multilevel Lists, and I am finding them somewhat more difficult to use. I cannot seem to apply an actual Multilevel List to a paragraph to make it an outline numbered paragraph heading. I always get one of the numbered heading styles. I am okay with this except that when I try to apply custom formatting to a Multilevel List, the result never makes it back into my document. Can someone give me some assistance with this? There are some useful new features in the Multilevel Lists, but I am having a very difficult time figuring out how to get the formatting of the selected list to be applied to the document. Kind regards, Russ Cannon |

Outline Numbering (now Multilevel Lists) in Word 2007
Although this does not answer your question, it is a problem along the same
lines. When in Word 2007 I apply a multilevel list to the document, all the heading style tabs switch to outlines Headings (ex. I Heading 1, A. Heading 2, etc). This is very helpful. However, when I then end the multilevel list, the headings remain the same. I cannot apply a regular heading - only an outline heading. In other words, once I change the multilevel setting back to "None," the style tabs do not revert back to normal. As this also has to do with multilevel list formatting, I thought I would at it to your post.
