Word 2007 Paragraph numbering/restart numbering; Legal doc

Have you scrolled to the bottom of the list? There are several alphabetical groups within the Link Level to Style Dropdown. When I create my new styles, I often find them located below the TOC styles. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Dawn,
Thanks so much for responding. Yes, I scrolled through them and they weren't there. Am I correct to be creating a "New List Style" and formatting everything through the Style dialog box? Any new list style I create by using the "New List Style" option shows up as a choice in the dropdown list from the Ribbon (under the Multilevel list button), but it does not show as a choice within the Modify Multilevel list dialog box under the "Link level to style" dropdown. If I first format text (which will not allow me the options of adding the special indents I need for each level of a number - I have to use the ruler to apply the proper indents), and then I right-click and create a new quick style, this new style is a choice in the "Link level to style" dropdown. However, the indents from the style I'm basing the number level on do not seem to stick, and I have to change them in the dialog box. I know this is probably getting confusing.... Is this how I should start - add just text formatting (do not apply any numbers) and create the styles from the text. Then, create a new multilevel list using the styles created with just formatted text and make my additional number formatting changes, as well as the indent changes for each level through the New Multilevel List dialog box? I guess I just can't remember what I did last time. Thanks so much for any help you can provide! "Dawn Crosier, Word MVP" wrote: Tammy - Have you scrolled to the bottom of the list?

Word 2007 Paragraph numbering/restart numbering; Legal doc

What I do is create paragraph styles for the paragraphs that I am going to include in the list. If you create lists and associate them with lists, you would seriously confuse Word - it’s a good thing you couldn't find the list in the dropdown. (LOL) Once you have paragraphs styled - then you can associate them to the MultiLevel List style that you are creating. For instance, I have a Heading type style that is the first in my list. It is formatted with Bold Text and SmallCaps font. Therefore, I called it FSBoSC-Lv1. Then the next style under is a more like body text so I called it FSBodyList-Lv2. If all the rest of the text in my multilevel list is going to look like FSBodyList-Lv2, then I just stop there with the linking since that style will carry on. I just adjust the numbering and the indents of the List. See Below: I. List Start (FSBoSC-Lv1) A. First Item (FSBodyList-Lv2) 1. Second Item (FSBodyList-Lv2) a. etc. (FSBodyList-Lv2) II. Second Start (FSBoSC-Lv1) Hopefully that will not confuse you more. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
