For example there is a numbering style that allows for first, second etc,
which if you change to Spanish, become Primero, Segundo etc, I need to have
the feminine variation Primera, Segunda, is this possible?

Failing this, where can I find some information on creating a custom outline
numbering style.

Within numbering in word, there is a numbering style, which is linked to by
drop down in the ide, or by word constant via your chosen programming
language.

I need to create one of those numbering styles; I can manually type in my
chosen format, but then I'd be limited to the 9 levels, where as I need it to
carry on.

e.g.

Primera - Heading 1
.
Novena - Heading 9

where as what I need to achieve is

Pimera - Heading 1
.
Centésima - Heading 1 (Hundreth in English)
and beyond

For those that are interested, this is basically the word constant number
style wdListNumberStyleOrdinalText (First, Second, Third etc) but in Spanish.

Standard word changes the number language from First etc to the language you
set your office language to with SetLang.exe, in my case from First to
Primero which is the Spanish for first but in the masculine, where as I need
the feminine Primera number style, which currently (to the best of my
knowledge) doesn't exist... yet
