MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / April 2005Outline Numbering
How can I permanently change the available outline numbering formats in Word 2000? Someone posted a helpful article previously, but I cannot locate it. None of the choices is what I want, and if I modify one, it only stays modified for that document. You can't change the Word defaults. What you can do is create the numbering scheme you want in a template and then base your documents on that template.  SignatureSuzanne S.

It seems like there should be a way to customize normal.dot. You can indeed customize *styles* in Normal.dot; what you can't do is customize the numbering formats in the List Gallery in such a way that you can be sure what number format you'll get if you use the Numbering button on the Formatting toolbar (which always applies the last-used number format).
