In the old version of Word (2003), if you wanted to increase or decrease the
spacing before or after items in a bullet or number list, you simply
highlighted the list items in question, re-set the spacing before and/or
after, and voila! In the new version this procedure works for ordinary
paragraphs, but I've yet to figure out how to get it to work on a list. For
example, if I select all the items on the list, and increase the "before"
spacing to 6 or 12 points, it will add the extra spacing before the first
item on the list, but not the others. please help.

Sounds like you have "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style"
enabled.
