Hello, Word Gurus! I have a question regarding List Styles in Word. I
created my numbering and linked Heading styles 1 - 9 with all nine levels
in
my list. I named and saved the new style and started list in new
document.
Although I linked my heading styles to each level, Word does not recognize
when I try to use in my Table of Contents. Does anyone know how Word 2007
see's these linked styles and how do I get it to recognize for my TOC?

It seems that when saving the list style to the template, it looses its
memory and forgets it has linked heading styles. Will the linked styles
not
save with List Styles?

Thanks So MUCH!

Thanks, Stefan - but since I was using Word's default Heading styles 1-9,
they should be already in the normal.dot, shouldn't they? In theory, this
should work, right? Is it a bug in Word perhaps, or maybe by design?




.
Thanks so much, Stefan - I've got to teach this to a lot of people and can't seem to find anything anywhere online or in books on the issue of the links not sticking.

Default List Styles and TOC - Word 2007

I was able to duplicate your result. I created a new list style linked to
heading styles and clicked "New documents based on this template" (normal.
dotm). I created a new document based on normal, but though the list style
was there, the list levels were not linked to headings.

I then saved my original document with the new list style as a template.
New documents based on that template retain the list style with linked
headings. I suggest that you do something similar.

Now I realize that I never saw this behavior before because I avoid adding
numbering to normal.dot headings.

List styles are relatively new in Word. I suspect that not many people actually
make use of them, which is why where is limited experience of them.

Have you also tested adding both the list style and the linked paragraph styles
to the template? Does that work better?

Of course I meant to type "there," not "where."

Default List Styles and TOC - Word 2007

When I created the list styles, I was also creating document templates for
proposals. New documents based on those template retain the style settings
of the template and the list style (still linked to the headings).

If I move a list style via the organizer to another document not based on the
same proposal template, the list style is still linked to heading style
_names_ (but the headings style settings will be those of the destination
document).

So I think the list-style-with-links works with everything but normal.dotm.
And for good reason.
