Word 2007 Create Outline numbered styles
OMG ~ please tell me I am a total blind bat!!!
I am trying to create my own numbering without using the heading styles so it looks like below: 1. first level (would like to name style as numpara1) 1.1 second level (numpara2) 1.1.1 third level (numpara3) 1.1.1.1 fourth level (numpara4 etc) However, when I go to create a style and set the numbering to it there is no outline numbered tab like in Word XP. There is however a Define New Multilevel List and Define New List Style. If I define a multilevel list, how do I assign each level a style? When I copy the styles from an old Word XP document the numbering falls out completely so I can't even cheat and bring them over. Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks ~ Kylie |

Word 2007 Create Outline numbered styles
To create a new multilevel (outline-numbered) list in Word 2007, use Home
tab | Multilevel List | Define New List Style. Word shows the style dialog box for a list style, and you can define all of its settings if you click Format, Numbering; this displays the Modify Multilevel List dialog box which allows you to set numbering formats and assign paragraph styles to levels, similar to the Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box of previous versions (and the description of the dialog box at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html is still useful). Note that you may have to click More to see all options of the dialog box. You can apply the list style to text via Home tab | Multilevel List (list styles are found, not surprisingly, under "List Styles"). But if you assigned paragraph styles to each level of numbering you'll find it easier to apply the appropriate paragraph style. To edit a particular list style, click Home tab | Multilevel List. Then right-click the list style and choose Modify from the context menu; this opens the Modify Multilevel List dialog box. For what it's worth, you can still reuse your old list. Just open the Word document that uses it, save it under a different file name (to preserve the contents of the original file) and then edit it. To change a multilevel list created without list styles, just place the insertion point in the first top-level paragraph (for example, in the first Heading 1 paragraph if you are dealing with heading numbering). Then click Home tab | Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kylie" wrote in message ... OMG ~ please tell me I am a total blind bat!!!
