I cannot get Word 2007 to do a multilevel list.
I just want a generic style, any one out of the drop down menu in the
paragraph box in the ribbon.
Here's what's happening:
I click on a list style, the first part comes up (I. ), then I can type
whatever I want.
When I hit enter, the list ends, it goes back to regular formatting.

Also, I find this odd - even though i click on multilevel list, the numbered
list button is lit up, not the multilevel list button.

This should be a simple operation, it was in Word 2003, I can't figure out
what I am doing wrong - a weird setting buried somewhere? Thanks in advance.

You have selected one of the lists that is linked to heading styles. The
"Style for following paragraph" of all heading styles is Normal.
