Stefan: Thanks so much for your response.

I am so frustrated with Word 2007. I am very familiar with creating and
using styles in Word 2003, following Shana Kelly's advise, but I am still
confused with styles in 2007.

When I modify a Multilevel style in the Styles Pane, the type is Paragraph,
and the List type is not an option, like it is when creating a style.
Therefore I do not have access to change the indenting of the list. If I
change the indent, it only appplies to Level 1. Level 2-9 remain indented as
originally defined and I cannot change it.

I am also confused by the new MultiLevel "List Library" and "List Styles"
that appear to be different from the Styles Pane List. What is th difference
between the Styles in the Styles Pane, the List Library and List styles? And
more importantly, when should each be used? Maybe I am just not using these
3 functions correctly.

For my job, I must create documents that have multiple (200+) Multilevel
Level Numbered and bulleted Lists (all starting with 1). Often one or more
of the Multilievel lists must be indented further than (or less than) the
rest. How do I do this? I am going nuts trying to do this in 2007.

No, each list style has nine levels of numbering, each of which can have its
own indentation settings. (You can change the settings via Modify Style,
Format, Numbering. Make sure to click the More button so that you can see
all the options in the dialog box.)

To choose a different level in a numbered text paragraph, use Home tab |
Multilevel List | Change List Level, or use the Increase Indent/Decrease
Indent buttons on the Home tab, or use Alt+Shift+Left/Right arrow.

Just like other styles, you can copy a created list style to other documents
or templates, which makes it easy to reuse it. To copy a style, press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click Manage Styles. Click
Import/Export to display the Organizer dialog box.

Does this mean that you must set up a new List style for every different
indentation variation (0", .5" 1.0", etc) for multilevel lists in one
document or different indents in different documents? OR
Is there a way to change the default indent on a whole Multilevel list
(Bulleted or Numbered) in a new document. When I open the style to modify
it,
the type is not 'list' and I cannot change the indents.

On the Home tab, click the Multilevel List button, and then click Define
New
List Style. In this dialog box, you can set the desired number format for
each level. For more control, click the Format button, and then click
Numbering, where you can set indents and attach paragraph styles to the
various levels.

When you have created a list style, you can apply it to text from the
Multilevel List button (choose the list style name in the List Styles
category).
