My list stops when I hit enter
I have created a new multilevel list in Microsoft Word in order to properly
connect my formatted styles with specific bullet point levels, something which I can't seem to accomplish using bullet points. But unlike bullet points, when I'm making a list and I hit enter, the list stops and I have to manually turn on the list again. This is incredibly frustrating and, quite frankly, non-sensical, so I'd appreciate any help. |

Go to the Modify Style dialog for this particular style and change the "Style
for following paragraph" to the same style. You don't mention the version of Word you are using, so finding this dialog will differ depending on the version.

My list stops when I hit enter
To expand on what Dean has said, if you are creating an outline using the
built-in heading styles, the "Style for following paragraph" of all heading styles is set to Normal. This is the style you will get when you press Enter at the end of a heading in any view but Outline view; in that view you will get another paragraph in the same style. If you don't intend to have any body text in your outline, then change the following style to the same style or (if preferred) the lower-level style. If you are building an outline based on heading styles, please also note that all heading styles are formatted as "Keep with next," which will cause pagination problems as each paragraph chases the following ones. You need to remove this property from the lower-level styles, say Heading 3 and beyond (depending on the number of items you have at any given level). -- Suzanne S.

I'm sorry, I thought I was going to receive an email when someone replied!
Thank you for your help. I'm using Word 2007 and couldn't find "Style for following paragraph" anywhere in the List editor. "Suzanne S.

My list stops when I hit enter
Never mind! I should have read more carefully. It's in the styles editor,
not the list editor. The style (and thus the list level linked to it) for following paragraph can only be changed by modifying the style, for those who encounter the same problem. This is an incredibly unintuitive system; hope they tighten up the list editor in the next version. But thank you for your help; I am very finicky about how I format my lists (Word defaults waste way too much space) so this will save me a great deal of time and anguish in the future.
